| dc.description.abstract | All-optical synchronization and timing extraction
based on self-pulsating twin section lasers has been demonstrated.
We investigate the variation of the unlocked full-widthat-
half-maximum of the fundamental of the RF spectrum of a
self-pulsating laser diode. We show for the first time that the
value of the unlocked FWHM has a direct influence on the
power required to maintain synchronization. We also show that
the variation of the FWHM with frequency is dependent on the
slope of the absorber bias versus self-pulsation frequency characteristic.
The results have important implications for the design and selection of self-pulsating laser diodes for synchronization
applications. | en |
