Research on tunable local laser used in ground-to-satellite coherent laser communication

TLDR
In this paper, a local laser based on modulation-sideband injection locking is proposed to realize homodyne reception and Doppler frequency shift tracking in ground-to-satellite coherent laser communication.
Abstract
In order to realize homodyne reception and Doppler frequency shift tracking in ground-to-satellite coherent laser communication, a local laser is experimentally demonstrated in this Letter. It is realized based on modulation-sideband injection locking, and has a 10 GHz tuning range, a 1 THz/s tuning rate, a 5 kHz linewidth, and 16 mW of output power. When applied to a Costas loop in a coherent laser communication system, the local laser can achieve ±5 GHz Doppler frequency shift tracking with a 20 MHz/s frequency shift rate, which is sufficient for the ground-to-satellite coherent laser communication.

High spatial resolution phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer with a frequency-swept pulse

TL;DR: The proposed FSP ϕ-OTDR uses optical pulses with linear frequency modulation with higher pulse energy for longer sensing fiber and uses matched filter in the receiver to compress the processed pulse width, so the contradiction between spatial resolution and the working distance in ordinary ϕ -OTDR is relaxed.

Self-injection-locking linewidth narrowing in a semiconductor laser coupled to an external fiber-optic ring resonator

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical framework for modeling a semiconductor laser coupled to an external fiber-optic ring resonator is developed, which is capable of describing the main features of the experimentally measured laser outputs such as laser line narrowing, spectral shape of generated radiation, mode-hoping instabilities and makes possible exploring the key physical mechanisms responsible for the laser operation stability.
