  • Abstract
    The injection locking properties of an angled-grating distributed feedback laser have been measured experimentally. Fringe visibility measurements were used to ascertain the quality of the phase lock between the master and slave laser as a function of master coupling level and frequency detuning. Experimental results show an asymmetric lockband with the stable lock region increasing in width as the coupling is increased.
