Optically Injection-Locked 1.55-μ m VCSELs as Upstream Transmitters in WDM-PONs

The wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network is actively being developed to meet the ever-increasing bandwidth demands of end users in a cost-effective and future-proof manner. In this work, we propose a novel scheme that utilizes injection-locked 1.55-mum vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) for operation as low-cost, stable, directly modulated, and potentially uncooled upstream transmitters, whereby the injection-locking master source is furnished by modulated downstream signals. Our scheme eliminates the need for external injection-locking optical sources, external modulators, and wavelength stabilization circuitry. We show through experiments that the injection-locked VCSEL favors low injection powers and responds only strongly to the carrier but not the modulated data of the downstream signal, with good upstream transmission performance obtained over 25-km fiber

Optical Single Sideband Modulation Using Strong Optical Injection-Locked Semiconductor Lasers

We report on the experimental demonstration of optical single sideband (SSB) modulation using a directly modulated semiconductor laser under strong optical injection-locking. Modulation sidebands with 15-dB power ratio between the lower and upper sidebands have been achieved. The longer wavelength sideband is resonantly amplified by the injection-locked laser cavity mode. The radio-frequency performance of the optical SSB after 80-km fiber transmission is significantly improved compared with a typical symmetric sideband modulation of a free-running laser.

Comparison of Indirect Optical Injection-Locking Techniques of Multiple X-Band Oscillators

Experimental results of indirect optical injection-locking of two X-band FET oscillators are presented. An S-band master source is used to synchronize both oscillators simultaneously, with 18-MHz locking range using the fiber-optic link nonlinearity. The source of the optical link nonlinearity is traced to the laser diode by interferometric measurement. Both the laser diode and the FET oscillator nonlinearities can be exploited to achieve frequency multiplication of the master oscillator signal. The merits of these different methods are evaluated based on the locking range and the FM noise level of the injection-locked oscillator.
