Optical 60 ㎓ millimeter-wave (MMW) signal generation is demonstrated using the sideband injection-locking method in the master/slave configuration, where two slave lasers are locked to two among several side-bands produced by the direct rf-modulation of a master laser. These two locked slave laser outputs beat against each other in the photo-detector and produce stable and very pure 60 ㎓ signals.

A modeling methodology for the analysis of injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes (FP-LDs), promising for cost-effective WDM-PON sources, is proposed. The time-domain large-signal model that is used is found to provide quite similar results to some experimental ones. With our methodology, we model characteristics of FP-LDs, such as influence of reflectivity at a facet and detuning on injection-locking. The eye diagram characteristics are also investigated. It is observed that the facet reflectivity at the injection side should be lower than 1% to provide stable operation in terms of good side-mode suppression ratio and independence from detuning between narrow-band injection noise and LD modes. It is also observed that good eye opening can be obtained for 155 Mbps modulation while the parameters such as the active region thickness should be properly optimized to obtain reasonable eye opening at 1.25 Gbps.
