چکیده
Injection mode-locking combined with stretched Q-switching of a ring resonator are proposed and demonstrated as a promising approach for advanced, guide star lasers. The concept uses two Nd:YAG lasers, producing a macro-micro pulse-burst output, optimized for efficient sum-frequency generation. We demonstrate wavelength, bandwidth and timing control required to maximize the atmospheric Na fluorescence.

Side-mode transmission diagnosis of a multichannel selectable injection-locked Fabry-Perot Laser Diode with anti-reflection coated front facet.
Theory and experiments on the side-mode-suppression-ratio (SMSR) enhancement and the linewidth reduction of a Fabry-Perot laser diode (FPLD) side-mode-injection-locked by using another FPLD are demonstrated to realize its potential application as a DWDM transmitter source. The SMSR, the spectral linewidth and the linewidth enhancement factor are simulated to realize the limitation of the FPLD-F...
متن کاملCW Injection Locking of a Mode-Locked Semiconductor Laser as a Local Oscillator Comb for Channelizing Broad-Band RF Signals
CW injection locking of mode-locked semiconductor lasers has been experimentally demonstrated. The phases of the mode-locked frequency comb are shown to be coherent with that of the master CW laser. The pulsewidth of the mode-locked laser remains almost unchanged (<2 ps) for a broad range of injection power ( 28 to 12 dBm). Pulling of the entire modelocked frequency comb by 400 MHz has been dem...
متن کاملInjection - Locked DFB Laser Diode in Main and Multiple Side Modes
One distributed feedback (DFB) laser diode with main and multiple side modes injection-locked is proposed and demonstrated. DFB laser diode can be successfully injection-locked not only in the main mode but also in different side modes. Besides, the side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) value of each injection-locked mode is enhanced, in which meaning that a new approach suitable for the use of mu...
متن کاملGeneration of tuneable 589nm radiation as a Na guide star source using an optical parametric amplifier.
We describe a 5.5W 589 nm source based on a passively mode-locked Nd:YVO4 laser and a multi-stage Lithium Triborate optical parametric amplifier seeded by a tuneable semiconductor laser. We show this system can produce rapidly tuneable, transform-limited pulses in near diffraction-limited beams at 589 nm, useful for Na guide star applications. The attraction of this scheme is that it can be ass...
متن کاملUltra Stable Coherent Sources Based on Injection Locked Dfb from a Femtosecond Fiber Laser Comb
− We propose ultra stable coherent laser sources based on optical injection locked single mode of the femtosecond fiber laser comb. The source is discretely tunable coherent optical sources by two DFB lasers, which are injection-locked to a respective single mode of the fiber laser comb with the frequency difference of 500 MHz, that is exactly twice of the comb repetition frequency.
