摘要：

We experimentally investigate the polarisation dependence of the locking bandwidth and transfer of amplitude modulation within an injection locked laser system. We find that the measured locking bandwidth of our injection locked laser varies by a factor of 2 as a function of polarisation. The transfer function for amplitude modulation on the master laser is strongly polarisation dependent and does not reflect a simple reduction in effective master laser power. As an explanation of the effects observed, we introduce a ''polarisation resonance'' condition for injection locking a laser cavity.
