The 3” harmonic spur-Sree dyndmic range improvement is studied for difl‘erent injection conditions. Introduction Injection locking oi semiconductor lasers has recently been actively investigated [ I .2]. Although there have been many theoretical predictions of performance improvements, the experimental verifications are limited. In this paper, we demonstrate that the injection-locking technique can be used to enhance the analog modulation performance of 1 5 5 pm VCSELs. A 21 dBIHz’’ improvement in spur free dynamic range (SFDR) for 3‘‘ harmonic distortion (from 75 to 96 dR/Hz”) was achie.ed. This is the highest 3‘’ harmonic SFDK for 1 5 5 um VCSELs reported. We also achieved a factor of 2 enhancement off , with a very flat modulation response below f,. Background In analog systems, an important figure-of-merit is the spur free dynamic range (SFDR), defined as dynamic range at the point when the system noise floor equals the distortion noise. ‘The distortion physicall) originates from the nonlinear characteristics of the laser. including nonlinearity of the light-current (LI) curve, the camer-photon interaction or from spatial hole-hurning ‘The highest reported 1MD3 SFDR for a 1.3 um DFB laser is 100 dB/Hz” tor frequencies below I GHz [3], while the highest 1 .55 um VCSEL SFDR for 3Id harmonics is only R I dB/llz” at I GHz [4]. Injection locking has been used tu improve SFDR of a 1.5 pm DFB Inser. A 5 dUIHz” improvement in SFDR was reported leading to a 100 dB/HzZ3 SFDR at 2.0 GHz [SI. Experimental Results Experiments were performed using W O diffrrcnt tunable VCSEL devices, whose device details can be found in [6]. The experimental setup is shown in Figure I . Figure la shows typical optical spectra of the free-running and injection-locked VCSEL, showing the VCSEL spectrum shifting to lock to the DFR wavelength. To achieve the locking conditions, the VCSEL Has electrostatically tuned while the DFB temperature was adjusted to vary the Wavelength detuning. The DFB power was adjusted by varying the DC bias. The locking phenomenon typically occurs between 0 and -0.3 nin detuning, while the analog improvement is typically observed in a smaller range (-0.05 nm detuning). Figure 2b shows the frequency response of the 1555.3 nm VCSEL as melrsured by a network analyzer, with a -30 dBm input signal. The free-running VCSEL 3dB bandwidth is 2.7 GHz and increases to 5.0 GHz for the injection locking case. This is nearly a 2x improvement in relaxation oscillation peak by injection locking. Also. the RF gain at the fundamental frequency of I .O GHz increases by -3 dB. Figure 3 shows Sindamental and third harmonic power vs. RF input power for the I 53R.4 nm VCSEL under free-running and injection-locking conditions. The slave VCSEL was modulated by a single-tone camer at I Cillz. The incident DFB power was -4 dBm and the DFB detuning was +0.24 nm.
