Abstract
The response of semiconductor nano-lasers to frequency-modulated optical injection is studied theoretically. Such frequency modulation dynamically changes the detuning between the target slave laser and the injecting master laser. A comparison is also made of the behaviour of regular semiconductor lasers when subject to frequency-modulated optical injection. It is shown that both quantitatively and qualitatively different dynamical behaviours arise as the depth and frequency of the frequency modulation are changed. Such differences are revealed in the detail of the laser power spectra. A comparison is also made of the response of regular semiconductor lasers to frequency modulated optical injection where a range of behaviours is again made apparent via the power spectra. It is indicated that there is significant scope for further investigation of the phenomena revealed here.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts reporting novel experimental or theoretical results in the broad field of the science and technology of quantum electronics. The Journal comprises original contributions, both regular papers and letters, describing significant advances in the understanding of quantum electronics phenomena or the demonstration of new devices, systems, or applications. Manuscripts reporting new developments in systems and applications must emphasize quantum electronics principles or devices. The scope of JQE encompasses the generation, propagation, detection, and application of coherent electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths below one millimeter (i.e., in the submillimeter, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc., regions). Whether the focus of a manuscript is a quantum-electronic device or phenomenon, the critical factor in the editorial review of a manuscript is the potential impact of the results presented on continuing research in the field or on advancing the technological base of quantum electronics.
