چکیده

Nonlinear dynamics of semiconductor lasers have recently attracted much attention in the area of microwave photonics. By invoking the nonlinear dynamics of an optically injected laser diode, high-speed microwave oscillation can be generated using the period-one oscillation state. The oscillation is harnessed for application as a photonic microwave source in radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems. It is advantageous over conventional direct current modulation because it alleviates the modulation bandwidth limitation and naturally generates single sideband signals. The method is thus applicable to wireless communication systems even when the subcarrier frequency increases to 60 GHz. Because RoF is usually incorporated with standard wireless schemes that involve frequency division multiplexing (FDM), we investigate the performance of the optical injection system under simultaneous current injection of multiple data streams. Frequency mixings and competition for locking among subcarriers result in intermodulation distortion (IMD). The relative weightings of different channels should be optimized to ensure acceptable signal qualities. The results illustrate the feasibility of applying the optical injection system for FDM RoF transmission at high subcarrier frequencies.

Radio-over-fiber transmission from an optically injected semiconductor laser in period-one state

Nonlinear dynamics of semiconductor lasers has found many interesting applications in microwave photonics technology. In particular, a semiconductor laser under optical injection of proper strength and optical frequency detuning can enter into the dynamical period-one (P1) state through Hopf bifurcation. The resulting optical output carries a broadly tunable high-speed microwave modulation with...

A highly tunable millimeter-wave subcarrier signal is generated by optically injecting a Fabry–Perot semiconductor laser. The optically injected light, which enables microwave subcarrier frequencies well beyond the injected laser’s free-running relaxationoscillation frequency, is then on–off keyed by direct-current (dc) modulation of the injected slave laser. Adjustment of the subcarrier freque...

Double-locked semiconductor laser for radio-over-fiber uplink transmission.

The nonlinear dynamics of an optically injected semiconductor laser are explored for radio-over-fiber uplink transmission. Under optical injection locking, the laser at the base station is operated in the period-one oscillation state, where its intensity oscillates at a tunable microwave frequency. When the oscillation is tuned to the subcarrier frequency, it is further locked by the uplink mic...
