Abstract
In this paper, theory and experimental results for
wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) channel generation, formed by
multi-line optical injection locking,is presented. A small-signal model to
deal with wide-spectral-band optical injection problems has been
developed. Based on this model, the crosstalk noise of an injection-locked
laser in a coherent WDM system is assessed analytically. Experimental
results on locking range, stability, and crosstalk noise confirms the
modeling results, which indicate that stable and low-noise channels can be
generated by this approach.
