Abstract
VCSEL-by-VCSEL optical injection-locking to obtain high cut-off frequencies of 1.3 μm Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) is demonstrated. A detailed physical explanation of the underlying mechanism is presented. VCSELs from the same wafer have been used in a master-follower configuration. Two probe stations are used in this experiment to power-up two VCSELs simultaneously. Polarization insensibility of the injection-locking is demonstrated and a novel architecture is proposed to achieve cut-off frequency doubling. For the first time a high cut-off frequency is achieved through optically injection-locking the satellite mode of a long wavelength VCSEL. Injection-locking spectra with variable injection-powers and variable detuning values have been obtained and methods have been proposed to obtain high cut-off and/or resonance frequencies. A rate-equation based model is presented. Simulations have been carried out using this model. Finally, a linear increases in the follower VCSEL cut-off frequency with increasing injected-power is demonstrated by using a semiconductor optical amplifier.
