Self-forced stabilization of inter-modal oscillation in multi-section semiconductor lasers at X-band
Abstract:
Forced oscillation based on self-injection locked phase-locked (SILPLL) opto-electronic oscillator (OEO) technique is the basis of highly stable and low phase noise oscillators to be used as a key component in modern communication and sensing systems. To avoid large-size modular OEO, inter-modal oscillation at X-band frequencies is achieved in a compact multi-mode multi-section semiconductor laser using InP foundry service. Self-forced oscillation technique of SILPLL is demonstrated, where a phase noise performance of -98 dBc/Hz is measured at 10 kHz offset carrier of 11 GHz, which is an improvement of 68 dB compared with the free-running condition, which corresponds with 600 times reduction in calculated timing jitters from the free-running case to reach 0.45 ps for over 1 kHz to 1 MHz bandwidth.

Semiconductors
Semiconductors are materials whose ability to conduct an electrical current depends strongly on their temperature and level of impurity. The most common type of semiconductor material is crystalline silicon. Most pure semiconductors are not outstanding conductors; to improve conductivity, a pure semiconductor is often combined or...
