چکیده

We report greatly enhanced modulation response of multimode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (MM-VCSELs), for the first time, using optical injection locking. A 3-dB bandwidth of 38 GHz and 54 GHz resonance frequency are achieved using a MM-VCSEL with a 3 GHz free-running bandwidth. We show that transverse mode selection can be attained with optical injection locking through frequency and spatial detuning.

Novel cascaded injection-locked 1.55-mum VCSELs with 66 GHz modulation bandwidth.

We demonstrate a novel cascaded configuration of optically injection-locked (COIL) VCSELs, which enables a wide and tailorable direct modulation bandwidth. Up to 66 GHz bandwidth is achieved using VCSELs with an original, free-running 10 GHz bandwidth. Different configurations of cascading are discussed in detail with the focus on optimizing the modulation bandwidth. We also discuss scaling cap...

Adjustable Chirp Injection-Locked 1.55-μm VCSELs for Enhanced Chromatic Dispersion Compensation at 10-Gbit/s

We demonstrate adjustable negative chirp from a directly-modulated, injection-locked 1.55-μm VCSEL by controlling the injection parameters. Chromatic dispersion tolerance is enhanced by greater than 10X at 10-Gb/s compared to that of a free-running VCSELs. ©2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (230.2035) Dispersion compensation devices, (250.7260) Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers

Optical Interconnects Using Injection-Locked VCSELs

Injection-Locked Vertical Cavity Lasers exhibit drastically enhanced performance. The 3-dB bandwidth can be increased up to 40 GHz, due to a resonance frequency enhancement. Such VCSELs may play a role in future optical interconnects. c © 2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (140.3520) Injection-locked lasers; (250.7260) Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers

Rayleigh backscattering and extinction ratio study of optically injection-locked 1.55 lm VCSELs

The performance dependence of optically injection-locked 1.55 mm VCSELs by downstream signals in a bidirectional optical link on the degree of Rayleigh backscattered signal and modulation depth of the master DFB laser is studied. Such a study is important for operation in bidirectional WDM-PONs. Error-free upstream performance is achieved when the upstream signal to Rayleigh backscattering rati...

Injection Locking of VCSELs

Injection locking has been actively researched for its possibility to improve laser performance for both digital and analog applications. When a modulated follower laser (also termed “slave” laser) is locked to the master laser, its nonlinear distortion and frequency chirp may be reduced. As well, the resonance frequency can increase to several times higher than its free running case. In this p...
