Abstract

We introduce a novel scheme for the simultaneous reduction of time-bandwidth product (TBP) and RF linewidth of quantum-dash two-section mode-locked lasers using optical injection-locking and filtered optical feedback. The optical injection-locked laser, double-locked with optical feedback showed 2× TBP reduction and RF linewidth reduction by two orders of magnitude. This stabilization technique is implemented in an all-optical arrangement without optical/electrical conversion which is ideal for high-repetition-rate devices and photonic integration.
