Direct modulation bandwidth enhancement of strongly injection-locked SG-DBR laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
Significant enhancement in the direct amplitude modulation bandwidth of an SG-DBR laser has been demonstrated under strong injectionlocking conditions, where the wavelength detuning between the master and the free-running SG-DBR slave laser is varied from 28.58 to 13.6 nm. It is demonstrated that the relaxation resonance frequency of a strongly injection-locked SG-DBR laser increases from 1.05 GHz for the free-running case to over 20 GHz.

Bandwidth enhancement of Fabry-Perot quantum-well lasers by injection-locking
Theory and experiment for dc and small-signal electrical modulation of an injection-locked quantum-well (QW) Fabry-Perot laser are presented. Our experiment is realized by performing side-mode injection locking of a multiple-quantum-well (MQW) InGaAsP FabryPerot (FP) laser, which has the advantage of optical wavelength conversion. We first measure the dc characteristics and optical spectra of a...

Wavelength tunable sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector (SG-DBR) lasers used for telecommunications applications have previously demonstrated the ability for linear frequency ramps covering the entire tuning range of the laser at 100 kHz repetition rates. An individual SG-DBR laser has a typical tuning range of 50 nm. The InGaAs/InP material system often used with SG-DBR lasers allows fo...
متن کاملModulation properties of optically injection-locked quantum cascade lasers.
A rate equation analysis on the modulation response of an optical injection-locked quantum cascade laser is outlined. It is found that the bifurcation diagram exhibits both bistable and unstable locked regions. In addition, the stable locked regime widens as the linewidth enhancement factor increases. It is also shown that both positive and negative optical detunings as well as strong injection...
متن کاملAmplitude Modulation Response and Linearity Improvement of Directly Modulated Lasers Using Ultra-Strong Injection-Locked Gain-Lever Distributed Bragg Reflector Lasers
Directly modulated fiber-optic links generally suffer higher link loss and larger signal distortion than externally modulated links. These result from the electron-photon conversion loss and laser modulation dynamics. As a method to overcome the drawbacks, we have experimentally demonstrated the RF performance of directly modulated, ultra-strong injection-locked gain-lever distributed Bragg ref...
