Enhanced Modulation Bandwidth of a Fabry–Pérot Semiconductor Laser Subject to Light Injection From Another Fabry–Pérot Laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
Variations in optical spectrum and modulation bandwidth of a modulated Fabry–Pérot (FP) semiconductor laser subject to the external light injection from another FP Laser is investigated in this paper. Optimal wavelength matching conditions for two FP lasers are discussed. A series of experiments show that two FP lasers should have a central wavelength overlapping and a mode spacing difference of several gigahertz. Under these conditions both the magnitude and phase frequency responses can be improved significantly.

Injection locking of Fabry-Pérot lasers and the temperature dependence of their emission in self- seeded WDM passive optical networks
The influence of temperature on coated (2%) and uncoated Fabry-Pérot laser output in a proposed colorless WDM system with self-seeding via modulation averaging reflector is studied. In particular, the connection between the information about the optical laser output from the laser integrated monitor photodetector and optical power output of the entire system with temperature change of the laser...
متن کاملAn optical vernier technique for in situ measurement of the length of long Fabry–Pérot cavities
We propose a method for in situ measurement of the length of kilometre-sized Fabry–Pérot cavities in laser gravitational wave detectors. The method is based on the vernier, which occurs naturally when the laser beam incident on the cavity has a sideband. By changing the length of the cavity over several wavelengths we obtain a set of carrier resonances alternating with sideband resonances. From...

Absolute positioning of the interferometer with an accuracy of 7 MHz rms over a range of 2 GHz is possible. The instrument is temperature stabilized and sh...
متن کاملBandwidth 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...
