Injection-locked composite lasers for mm-wave modulation : LDRD 117819 final report

Vawter, Gregory A.; Skogen, Erik J.; Chow, Weng W.; Overberg, Mark E.; Peake, Gregory M.; Wendt, J.R.

This report summarizes a 3-year LDRD program at Sandia National Laboratories exploring mutual injection locking of composite-cavity lasers for enhanced modulation responses. The program focused on developing a fundamental understanding of the frequency enhancement previously demonstrated for optically injection locked lasers. This was then applied to the development of a theoretical description of strongly coupled laser microsystems. This understanding was validated experimentally with a novel 'photonic lab bench on a chip'.
