Coherent spectral bandwidth combining by optical pulse injection locking in quantum dot modelocked semiconductor diode lasers
An optical pulse injection locking technique is employed to generate shorter pulses from a passively modelocked quantum dot laser. The optical pulse injection locking enables the coherent addition of phaselocked longitudinal mode groups from two separate modelocked lasers without the use of stabilisation control loops, thus increasing the spectral bandwidth output resulting in optical pulses wi...
متن کاملOptical injection modulation of quantum-dash semiconductor lasers by intra-cavity stimulated Raman scattering.
We report the optical injection modulation of semiconductor lasers by intra-cavity stimulated Raman scattering. This mechanism manifests itself as sharply enhanced modulation bandwidth in InAs/InGaAlAs/InP quantum-dash lasers when the injected photons are 33 +/- 3 meV more energetic than the lasing photons. Raman scattering measurements on the quantum-dash structure and rate equation models str...
متن کاملA Proposal for a New Method of Modeling of the Quantum Dot Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
With the advancement of nanoscale semiconductor technology,semiconductor optical amplifiers are used to amplify and process all-optical signals. Inthis paper, with the aim of calculating the gain of quantum dot semiconductor opticalamplifier (QD-SOA), two groups of rate equations and the optical signal propagatingequation are used in the active layer of the device. For t...
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 کاملTheoretical analysis of optical injection locking in semiconductor DFB lasers, influence of the injection direction
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 differe...
