Abstract
Summary form only given. We report an exact optical frequency synthesis technique for WDM applications using optical injection locking of a widely tunable sampled grating (SG) DBR laser, the slave laser, to lines from a comb of optical frequencies generated by an all-fibre comb generator master laser. Unwanted lines from the comb are suppressed for locking ranges narrower than the comb frequency spacing.
