- Abstract
- In this paper, we report the optical injection locking of an L-band (similar to 1580 nm) 4.7 GHz III-V-on-silicon mode-locked laser with a narrow line width continuous wave (CW) source. This technique allows us to reduce the MHz optical line width of the mode-locked laser longitudinal modes down to the line width of the source used for injection locking, 50 kHz. We show that more than 50 laser lines generated by the mode-locked laser are coherent with the narrow line width CW source. Two locking techniques are explored. In a first approach a hybrid mode-locked laser is injection-locked with a CW source. In a second approach, light from a modulated CW source is injected in a passively mode-locked laser cavity. The realization of such a frequency comb on a chip enables transceivers for high spectral efficiency optical communication. (C) 2016 Optical Society of America
