  • Abstract
    The voltage of a current-driven optically injected semiconductor laser has been measured. The experiments not only show the well known phenomenon of injection locking but also reveal unprecedented dispersive-like structures around the relaxation oscillation frequencies. Based on the single-mode rate equations a theoretical explanation of both phenomena is given. The dispersive-like structures are shown to be caused by four wave mixing.
