Abstract
In normal injection-locked semiconductor lasers, the modulation signals are
applied to the slave laser. In this paper, we show that modulating the master light
before injection exhibits distinctive modulation dynamics and frequency response. We
first present a detailed theoretical model and simulation results. Experimentally, we
have successfully demonstrated both master amplitude and master phase modulation. The
resulting 3-dB bandwidths have been enhanced by up to three times, exceeding 50 GHz. The
resonance frequency of the combined lasers is greater than 100 GHz.
