摘要
The linewidth of the individual modes of an actively mode-locked extended-ring-cavity semiconductor laser is reduced from a free running linewidth of over 200-20 kHz by the injection of a narrow linewidth continuous-wave (CW) tight. The optical phase of the injection-locked pulses can be controlled by adjusting the free-running optical frequency of the semiconductor ring laser. The variation in the optical phase of the output pulses versus the change of the free-running optical frequency is evaluated to be 0.57 pi radians within the locking range of about 96 MHz by observing temporal shape of the beat signal formed between output pulses and CW injection light.
