We have investigated the spectral characteristics of semiconductor lasers locked to the external light injected from a modulated laser. The numerical model for semiconductor lasers under the external optical injection is based on the Lang's equation and has been extended in order to take into account the simultaneous injection of the multiple sidebands of the current-modulated laser. In this paper, we have analyzed characteristics of semiconductor laser using optical injection locking

본 논문에서는 전압 제어 특성을 이용하여 광대역에서 사용 가능한 주입 동기 발진기를 제안하였다. 주입 동기 발진기의 공진 회로에 바렉터 다이오드를 포함시켜 다이오드의 바이어스 전압을 제어하여 자유 발진 주파수를 가변 가능하도록 하였으며, 이를 통해 주입 동기 신호의 입력 레벨이 낮더라도 광대역에서 동작이 가능하도록 하였다. 제안된 주입 동기 발진기는 0.8 mm 두께를 갖는 FR-4 기판을 사용하여 제작되었으며, 0~5 V의 제어 전압을 주어졌을 때, 자유 발진 주파수는 2.39~2.52 GHz로 가변이 가능하였다. 주파수 고정시 -10 dBm의 입력 신호 레벨에서 주파수 동기 범위가 50 MHz 이상이며, 주파수 가변을 통해 -30 dBm의 낮은 주입 신호레벨에서 90 MHz의 주파수 동기 범위를 얻을 수 있었다.

A fully integrated parallel-coupled 6-GHz quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO) has been designed. The symmetrical parallel-coupled quadrature VCO is implemented using 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS process. The measured phase noise is -101.05 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 1 MHz. The tuning range of 710 MHz is achieved with a control voltage ranging from 0.3 to 1.4 V. The average output phase error is about $1.26^{\circ}$ including cables and connectors. The QVCO dissipates 10 mA including buffer from the 1.5 V supply voltage. The output characteristic of the differential injection-locked frequency divider (DILFD), which has similar topology to the QVCO, is presented.

A new scheme for bi-directional HDTV/Gigabit Ethernet/CATV transmission over a hybrid dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (DWDM-PON) is proposed and demonstrated. It is based on injection-locked vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers and distributed-feedback laser diodes as transmitters. Services with 129 HDTV channels, a 1.25 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet connection, and 77 CATV channels are successfully demonstrated over 40 km single-mode fiber links. Good performance of bit error rate, carrier-to-noise ratio, composite second order, and composite triple beat is achieved in our proposed bidirectional DWDM-PON.

A 120 GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with a divider chain including an injection locked frequency divider (ILFD) and six static frequency dividers is demonstrated using 65-nm CMOS technology. The VCO is designed based on the LC cross-coupled push-push structure and operates around 120 GHz. The 60 GHz ILFD at the first stage of the frequency divider chain is based on a similar topology as the core of the VCO to ensure the frequency alignment between the two circuit blocks. The static divider chain is composed of D-flip flops, providing a 64 division ratio. The entire circuit consumes a DC power of 68.5 mW with the chip size of $1385{\times}835{\mu}m^2$.

A WDM-PON has been considered as an ultimate solution for access networks. However, there were many technical and practical issues for commercial deployment. These issues were solved with wavelength locked F-P LD and the WDM-PONs employing this optical source were commercialized. These WDM-PON systems have been deployed in Korea, Europe, and US. We reviewed wavelength locking technology and WDM-PON achievements. When we inject spectrum sliced broadband light into an F-P LD, the multimode output is changed to a quasi single mode. Then, we can use the single mode light for WDM signal transmission. The broad spectral gain of the semiconductor gain medium enables a color-free operation of WDM-PON, i.e., an identical ONT can be used for each user. The wavelength locking properties depend on many parameters, especially alignment of injection wavelength to a lasing mode, passband profile of AWG and front facet reflectivity of F-P LD. However, these dependencies can be reduced by proper design of the laser and the injection bandwidth. Thus, WDM-PON systems have been achieved with color-free operation.

10 GHz 고조파 모드잠금 고리형 반도체 광섬유 레이저의 외부 CW 광주입 효과를 연구하였다. 선폭 ~ 100 KHz의 코히어런트 외부 광주입에 의해 40 dB가 넘는 스펙트럼 빗살의 골짜기와 30 dB가 넘는 슈퍼모드 비팅 잡음 억제효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 저가의 주입광원을 이용할 수 있는지를 조사하기 위해 주입광을 대략 10 MHz의 선폭을 갖는 DFB 레이저로 교체하였다. 그 결과, 스펙트럼 빗살의 골짜기는 유사한 특성을 보였으나, 슈퍼모드 비팅 잡음은 억제되기보다는 오히려 증가하는 것으로 관측되었다.

We have proposed and experimentally verified a pulse-width modulation (PWM) generator which directly generated a PWM signal in the optical domain. Output waveforms were clear at the repetition rate of 16 MHz; the duty cycle (DC) was from 14.7% to 72.1%; and the DC-control resolution was about 4.399%/dB. The PWM generator' operation principle is based on the injection-locking property of a single-mode Fabry-$P{\acute{e}}rot$ laser diode (SMFP-LD). The SMFP-LD, which has a self-locked mode wavelength at ${\lambda}_{PWM}$, was used to detect the power of the injection-locking signal (optical analog input). If the analog input power is high, the SMFP-LD is locked to the wavelength of the input signal ${\lambda}_a$ and there is no output after an optical bandpass filter (OBF). If the analog input power is low, the SMFP-LD is unlocked and there is output signal at ${\lambda}_{PWM}$ after the OBF. Thus, the SMFP-LD plus the OBF provide digital output for an analog input. The DC of the output PWM signal can be controlled by tuning the power of the analog input.

WDM-PON 용 저가형 광원으로 유망한 주입 잠금 패브리-페롯 레이저 다이오드의 특성 해석을 위한 모델링 방법을 제시하였다. 해석 방법으로는 시영역 대신호 모델을 이용하였으며, 계산 결과는 기존의 실험 결과와 유사한 경향을 보임을 확인하였다. 이를 토대로 특정한 파라미터를 가지는 레이저 다이오드 구조에서의 단면 반사율에 따른 동작 특성과 디튜닝, 아이 다이어그램등을 모델링 하였다. 특히 단면 반사율의 값에 따른 부모드 억제율 특성 및 디튜닝의 영향을 살펴보았으며, 주입되는 단면의 반사율이 1% 미만으로 유지되어야 안정된 특성을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 아이 다이어그램의 경우 155 Mbps 급에서는 손쉽게 아이 열림을 얻을 수 있지만, 1.25 Gbps 급에서는 레이저 다이오드의 활성층 두께 등의 파라미터를 적정화해야 적정한 아이특성을 얻을 수 있음을 보였다.

A second harmonic millimeter wave oscillator utilizing sub-harmonic injection-synchronization is presented. A 8.7GHz oscillator with MES-FET is designed, and is driven as a harmonic output oscillator at 17.4GHz by means of sub-harmonic injection-synchronization. The oscillator operates as a multiplier as well as a oscillator in this scheme. Adopting this method, a high sable, high frequency millimeter wave source is obtainable even though self-oscillating frequency of an oscillator is relatively low. The range of injection-synchronization is about 26MHz, and is proportional to the input sub-harmonic power. The spectrum analysis of the 2nd harmonic output frequency shows remarkably decreased the phase noise level.
