Abstract :
Experimental results of indirect optical injection-locking of two X-band oscillators are presented. An S-band master source is used to lock both oscillators over 18 MHz using the laser diode nonlinearities. System FM noise degradation is 14 dB and the means to improve system performance are suggested.
