Title :
Dynamics in isolator-free injection-locked lasers
Author_Institution :
Sandia Nat. Labs., Albuquerque, NM
Abstract :
Dynamical behavior in injection-locked lasers without optical isolation between master and slave lasers is investigated. A uniquely new laser theory, that treats the two lasers on equal footing, predicts considerable modification to modulation response.
