Laser Linewidth Requirements and Improvements for Coherent Optical Beam Forming Networks in Satellitec
A coherent optical beam forming network principle using phase-locked semiconductor lasers as sources is presented. For this scheme the spectral purity of the intermediate frequency derived from mixing the signals from two semiconductor lasers is considered and the relationship between the linewidths of the lasers in a satellite transmitter and the phase error at the detector of a microwave diff...
متن کاملEffects of resonant tunneling and dynamics of coherent interaction on intrinsic linewidth of quantum cascade lasers
A theoretical model for calculation of the intrinsic linewidth of QCLs is built on the basis of the quantum Langevin approach. It differs from the traditional rate equation model in that the resonant tunneling and the dynamics of coherent interaction can be considered. Results show that the coupling strength and the dephasing rate associated with resonant tunneling strongly affect the linewidth...
متن کاملThermally insensitive determination of the linewidth broadening factor in nanostructured semiconductor lasers using optical injection locking
In semiconductor lasers, current injection not only provides the optical gain, but also induces variation of the refractive index, as governed by the Kramers-Krönig relation. The linear coupling between the changes of the effective refractive index and the modal gain is described by the linewidth broadening factor, which is responsible for many static and dynamic features of semiconductor laser...
متن کاملHigh-Performance Phase Locking of Wide Linewidth Semiconductor Lasers by Combined Use of Optical Injection Locking and Optical Phase-Lock Loop
The requirement for narrow linewidth lasers or short-loop propagation delay makes the realization of optical phase-lock loops using semiconductor lasers difficult. Although optical injection locking can provide low phase error variance for wide linewidth lasers, the locking range is restricted by stability considerations. Theoretical and experimental results for a system which combines both tec...
متن کاملOptical linewidth of a passively mode-locked semiconductor laser.
We measured the optical linewidths of a passively mode-locked quantum dot laser and show that, in agreement with theoretical predictions, the modal linewidth exhibits a parabolic dependence with the mode optical frequency. The minimum linewidth follows a Schawlow-Townes behavior with a rebroadening at high power. In addition, the slope of the parabola is proportional to the RF linewidth of the ...
