Abstract

Injection-locking of conventional Fabry-Perot semiconductor lasers is an effective technique for achieving static and dynamic single-mode operation with a narrow linewidth.¹ Noise characteristics of injection-locked diode lasers are of vital importance for their application in optoelectronic systems, for example, in coherent transmission.² We report we believe the first numerical studies of frequency noise spectra in injection-locked semiconductor lasers.
