Abstract :
Microwave performance of 1.3 mum optically injection-locked single-mode VCSELs functioning at room temperature is presented. The experiment has been performed using two identical unpackaged VCSELs on two separate probe-stations. Three-fold increase in the 3-dB cut-off frequency of S21 spectra have been observed under VCSEL-by-VCSEL optical injection-locking.
