Hybrid injection locking of higher power CO<inf>2</inf>lasers

Nonlinear Photonic Signal Processing Subsystems and Applications

“…The technique was described in the classical papers of (van der Pol, 1927) and (Adler, 1946) for the case of electrical oscillators. Injection locking of microwave oscillators was reported by (Kurokawa, 1973) and injection locking of gas lasers was demonstrated by He-Ne laser (Stover & Steier, 1966) and CO 2 laser (Buczek & Frejberg, 1972). The injection locking technique has been widely used to improve the static and dynamic performances of semiconductor lasers (Lang, 1982, Murakami et al, 2003.…”

Development and Delivery of a Stable Master Oscillator

“…This C02 lz.ser injection locking which has many similarities to injection locking of electrical. oscillators has been discussed in detail in References (1), (2) and (3).…”

“…The hybrid injection-loJking technique used to generate a discriminant which can be used for electronical.ly maintaining this tracking is discussed in Reference (2). This method results in a peak in the laser output power centered on the injection-locking interval.…”

Injection locking and mode selection in TEA-CO<inf>2</inf>laser oscillators

“…In the past, this technique has been successfully used with CW and Q-switched C02 regenerative amplifiers [ 6 ] , ' [7]. More recently, injection loclung in a TEA-C02 laser has been reported at injection levels of several watts [8] .…”
