Frequency-chirped light from an injection-locked diode laser
We use current modulation of an external-cavity diode laser in conjunction with optical injection locking of a free-running diode laser to produce a high output power of rapidly frequency-chirped light. Chirp rates exceeding 15 GHz /μ s have been demonstrated with this simple system. An important c...

have been demonstrated with this simple system. An important consequence of the injection locking is the significant reduction of amplitude modulation in the output. |
