Timing recovery algorithm for magnetic amplifying magneto-optic system (MAMMOS)

Magnetic amplifying magneto-optical system (MAMMOS) technique has gained recent attention because of its potential to achieve high recording density. Timing recovery module plays a very important role in the performance of MAMMOS sampled-data detectors because it controls the time instants at which the continuous playback signal is sampled. In this paper, we report a new timing recovery algorithm for MAMMOS and investigate its performance through spin stand data.
