Theoretical analysis of optical injection locking in semiconductor DFB lasers, influence of the injection direction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Theoretical results concerning injection locking in complex cavity semiconductor lasers are reported. A general equation for the complex temporal envelope of the optical field is derived. The injection direction influence is taken into account and the difference between front and rear phase noise is pointed out and demonstrated. Numerical results are given concerning the feed-in rate of different DFB lasers.

High-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...

The effects of optical injection locking on the nonlinear distortions of directly modulated semiconductor distributed feedback (DFB) lasers are investigated experimentally. The second harmonic distortion (SHD) and third harmonic distortion (THD), as well as the third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3), are measured as functions of modulation frequency for both the free-running and injectio...

Direct discrimination of FM and FSK optical signals using injection-locked DFB semiconductor lasers is analysed. The demodulation eficiency is found to be independent of the optical injection level in the steady state. However, the optical injection level is important in determining the dynamic response. There exists an optimum optical injection rate to achieve the highest demodulation speed. T...
