TLDR
In this article, a stable phase locking of an electrically pumped vertical cavity surface-emitting semiconductor laser (VCSEL) was demonstrated experimentally by injecting light from an edge emitting master laser into the slave laser VCSEL cavity within a large detuning range (/spl sim/80 GHz).Abstract:
Stable phase locking of an electrically pumped vertical cavity surface-emitting semiconductor laser (VCSEL) was demonstrated experimentally by injecting light from an edge-emitting master laser into the slave laser VCSEL cavity within a large detuning range (/spl sim/80 GHz). By varying the injected power and frequency detuning, a variety of interesting nonlinear behavior was observed. A theoretical model based on two-field rate equations is presented and compared with experiment, showing good agreement.read more
