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.

A single mode, 100-mW diode laser was injection-locked by the master laser which was spectrally narrowed with Littman-type grating feedback. In the incomplete-injection-locking, we observed that two frequencies were simultaneously generated from the slave laser. The power ratio and frequency shift of two frequency components were proportional to the square of injected laser intensity. When the ratio of the injection intensity to the slave laser intensity was about $10^{-3}$, the injection-locking bandwidth was to be about 1.4 GHz. The bandwidth proportionally increased to the square root of the injection intensity, which was in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The Iinewidth of the locked-laser was about 2.5 MHz, which was five times as narrow as that of free-running operation. ation.

In this paper, we present the design of Q-band LC VCO and injection locking buffer for 77 GHz automotive radar sensor using 130 nm RF CMOS process. To improve the phase noise characteristic of LC tank, the transmission line is used. The negative resistance by the active device cross-coupled pair of buffer is used for high output power, with or without oscillation of buffer. The measured phase noise is -102 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency and tuning range is 34.53~35.07 GHz. The output power is higher than 4.1 dBm over entire tuning range. The fabricated chip size is $510{\times}130\;um^2$. The power consumption of LC VCO is 10.8 mW and injection locking buffer is 50.4 mW from 1.2 V supply.

This paper proposes a novel quadrature VCO(QVCO) based on direct back-gate second harmonic coupling. The QVCO directly couples the current sources of the conventional LC VCOs through the back-gate instead of front-gate to generate quadrature signals. By the second harmonic injection locking, the two LC VCOs can generate quadrature signals without using on-chip transformer, or stability problem that is inherent in the direct front-gate second harmonic coupling. The proposed QVCO is implemented in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology operating at 2 GHz with 5.0 mA core current consumption from 1.8 V power supply. The measured phase noise of the proposed QVCO is - 63 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, -95 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset, and -116 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from the 2 GHz output frequency, respectively. The calculated figure of merit(FOM) is about -174 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset. The measured image band rejection is 46 dB which corresponds to the phase error of $0.6^{\circ}$.

The injection-locking of the broad-area diode laser was analysed by using the Fabry-Perot model. The far-field pattern of the output beam was able to be treated by superposing the individual beams emitted from the front facet due to the multiple reflections between the front and rear facets. and the exact near and far field patterns were obtained. The angle-steering effect according to change of the incident frequency was changed was calculated and found to be 0.022 degree/GHz with a bandwidth of 120 GHz.20 GHz.

A wavelength tunable all-optical clock recovery using a semiconductor optical amplifier in a fiber ring cavity is proposed and demonstrated at the wavelength of 1530 nm to 1570 nm. A synchronized optical pulse train is recovered from 10 Gbps and 30 Gbps randomly generated optical pulse streams with injection locking technique. Also, the system responses to the perturbation and the input average power variation are analyzed by a large-signal model based on time-domain travelling wave equation. ation.
