Abstract :
A detailed comparison of subharmonic synchronous mode-locking and subharmonic hybrid mode-locking of a monolithic DBR laser is presented. While subharmonic electrical injection offers ease of implementation, subharmonic optical injection offers advantages of reduced amplitude modulation and larger locking ranges.
