Abstract :
Summary form only given. We report the first observation of synchronous injection locking of a mode locked semiconductor laser. Locking ranges, both in the time and in the frequency domains, were measured, as well as noise parameters. Experimental results were compared to a model, with an emphasis on possible instabilities
