Synchronized two-color operation of a passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser by dual injection locking

The recently introduced harmonic injection locking is a method for generating pulse trains at high repetition rates from passively mode-locked lasers. We report the simultaneous injection locking of two spectral bands in an erbium-doped fiber laser by injection of two spectrally distinct and temporally synchronized pulse trains. The injection-locked laser simultaneously produced pulses at wavelengths of 1.53 and 1.55{mu}m, each at a 7.5-GHz repetition rate and with a pulse width of 10ps. We compared the experimental results with those of a previous model [G. Agrawal, {ital Nonlinear} {ital Fiber} {ital Optics} (Academic, San Diego, Calif., 1989)], using a recently introduced method for passively mode-locked laser simulation. {copyright} {ital 1996 Optical Society of America.}
