Abstract

We investigate the selective amplification and filtering of injection-locked slotted Fabry–Perot semiconductor lasers. Current and temperature tuning are used to selectively filter and amplify subcarriers of coherent optical combs with a selectivity of at least 10 GHz with an optical gain of up to 18 dB for filtered lines. A side mode suppression ratio in excess of 20 dB is also achieved.
