Injection locking of an actively mode-locked semiconductor laser.
We report what is to our knowledge the first observation of synchronous coherent injection locking of an actively mode-locked extended cavity semiconductor laser to an external light pulse train. In the temporal domain, we observed experimentally and verified theoretically a significant narrowing of the output pulse of the mode-locked laser. In the spectral domain, we demonstrated experimentall...
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 ...
متن کاملQ-switching instability in a mode locked semiconductor laser
We suggest analytic estimates for the Q-switching instability boundary of the continuous-wave mode-locking regime domain for a ring cavity semiconductor laser. We use a differential delay laser model that allows to assume large gain and loss in the cavity, which is a typical situation for this laser class. The slow saturable absorber approximation is applied to derive a map that describes the t...
متن کاملSemiconductor Mode-Locked Laser for High-Speed OTDM Transmission
The aim of this work is to investigate semiconductor mode-locked lasers for their application as a transmitter pulse source in an optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) system with data rates up to 640 Gbit/s and with on-off keying (OOK) or differential phase shift keying (DPSK) modulation formats. Up to the present work there have not been any applications of the semiconductor mode-locked l...
متن کاملUltrahigh supermode noise suppressing ratio of a semiconductor optical amplifier filtered harmonically mode-locked Erbium-doped fiber laser.
The supermode noise suppressing ratio (SMSR) and the phase noise of a harmonically mode-locked Erbium-doped fiber laser (HML-EDFL) with an intra-cavity semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and an optical band-pass filter (OBPF) are improved and compared with a state-of-the-art Fabry-Perot laser diode (FPLD) injection-mode-locked EDFL. By driving the intra-cavity SOA based high-pass filter at u...
