Abstracts

EN

Theoretical study for frequency response and modulation bandwidth of slave semiconductor ring laser in the master-slave configuration using optical injection locking has been investigated. Equations for frequency response of optical injection locking-semiconductor ring laser to the direct modulation, amplitude modulation of master laser, respectively, are derived and simulated. Enhancement in the modulation bandwidth of >100 GHz is reported between negative to positive detuning frequency and increasing injection power ratio.
