Abstract :
Full-band injection-locking properties of a high power, low phase noise, tunable monolithically integrated CSG-DR-LD are investigated. An average injection-locking range of 2.5GHz at optical injection ratios of -22dB is obtained. These characteristics make the CSG-DR-LD a highly promising light source for future tunable coherent receivers.
