Abstract

Generation of optical pulse trains using semiconductor lasers has attracted significant attention due to their applications in optical communications and signal processing. A pulse generator based on the nonlinear dynamics of an optically injected distributed feedback laser is presented. The proposed system does not require electrical excitation and can be configured to operate in a periodic or aperiodic pulsation regime by controlling the injection conditions. Experiments show periodic pulsation with a repetition rate of 1.034 GHz and aperiodic pulsation with an average repetition rate of 5.618 GHz.
