Locking Range, Phase Noise and Power Spectrum of an Injection Locked Semiconductor Laser
Résumé
The locking range of an optically injected semiconductor laser is discussed, including the spectral hole burning and lateral carrier diffusion effects. These effects are modelled with a gain suppression coefficient. In addition, an expression for the mean square phase jitter of an injection-locked semiconductor laser is derived when these effects are insignificant. The power spectrum of a locked laser is obtained and compared with experimental results
