Noise analysis of injection-locked semiconductor injection lasers

Journal Article · · IEEE J. Quant. Electron.; (United States)

The noise of injection-locked semiconductor lasers is analyzed by rate equations including the spontaneous emission noise. The side mode suppression and the relative intensity noise (RIN) of the locked laser (slave laser) are given for different wavelengths detuning between the master and slave laser and for different linewidth enhancement factors ..cap alpha... For large ..cap alpha.., locking is difficult to achieve, whereas extremely low noise may be obtained for injection-locked lasers with a low linewidth enhancement factor.
