Analysis of Spectral Characteristics of Semiconductor Lasers under Strong Optical Injection Locking for Tens of Giga Hz Signal Generation

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF KIMICS, VOL. 8, NO. 4, AUGUST 2010 457Abstract—we have analyzed tens of Giga pulse signal generation using sideband injection locking scheme. The numerical model for semiconductor lasers under the strong optical injection is based on the Lang’s equation and has been extended in order to take into account the simultaneous injection of the multiple sidebands of the current-modulated laser. The numerical simulation results show that the unselected sidebands will affect the optical and RF-spectral characteristics even though the semiconductor laser is locked to the target sidebands.
