外光注入半导体激光器实现重复速率可调全光时钟分频

采用Fabry-Perot半导体激光器作为全光时钟分频器件,利用光注入半导体激光器产生的非线性动力学特性,实现了光脉冲的重复速率在9.0 GHz到19.8 GHz范围内连续可调的全光时钟分频. 同时利用半导体激光器速率方程,对脉冲光注入半导体激光器产生时钟分频进行了数值模拟. 实验和模拟结果表明半导体激光器在光注入的驱动下处于一周期振荡状态,当一周期振荡的二次谐波频率接近脉冲光的重复速率时,其二次谐波和基频被脉冲光同时锁定,此时将输出频率为脉冲光重复速率一半的时钟信号. 同时研究了波长失谐量和注入光功率对 关键词： 周期振荡 时钟分频 光注入 非线性动力学     

Control of period-one oscillation for all-optical clock division and clock recovery by optical pulse injection driven semiconductor laser

The period-one oscillation produced by an external optical pulse injection driven semiconductor laser is applied to clock recovery and frequency division. By adjusting the repetition rate or injection power of the external injection optical pulses to lock the different harmonic frequencies of the period-one state, the clock recovery and the frequency division （the second and third frequency divisions） are achieved experimentally. In addition, in frequency locking ranges of 2 GHz and 1.9 GHz, the second and third frequency divisions are obtained with the phase noise lower than 100 dBc/Hz, respectively. Our experimental results are consistent well with the numerical simulations.
