A Scheme for Optical Pulse Generation Using Optoelectronic Phase Locked Loops
Abstract A new scheme of optical pulse generation using multiple optoelectronic phase locked loops is proposed. The principle of the scheme is combining three or more coherent optical waves having equal frequency separation. The coherencies of the optical waves are attained by the use of optoelectronic phase locked loops. The repetition frequency of the generated optical pulse is equal to the f...

متن کاملPhase-Locking and Coherent Beam Combining of Broadband Linearly Chirped Optical Waves
Optical phase-locking has found various applications in the fields of optical communication links [52, 78–81], clock generation and transmission [82, 83], synchronization and recovery [84, 85], coherence cloning [7], coherent beam combining (CBC) and optical phased arrays [8,86–91], and optical frequency standards [92,93], to name a few. In these applications, electronic feedback is used to pre...
متن کاملPassive coherent beam combining of four Yb-doped fiber amplifier chains with injection-locked seed source.
An injection-locked fiber laser is introduced to the passive fiber laser coherent beam combination with all-optical feedback loop. A coherent beam combining system with two-dimensional four Yb-doped fiber amplifier chains is established, and the injection-locked fiber laser works as a switchable seed source. The 1064 nm output laser of the injection-locked fiber laser is extinguished automatica...
متن کاملPhase-locking and coherent power combining of broadband linearly chirped optical waves.
We propose, analyze and demonstrate the optoelectronic phase-locking of optical waves whose frequencies are chirped continuously and rapidly with time. The optical waves are derived from a common optoelectronic swept-frequency laser based on a semiconductor laser in a negative feedback loop, with a precisely linear frequency chirp of 400 GHz in 2 ms. In contrast to monochromatic waves, a differ...
