“…Low noise mode-locked lasers have drawn considerable attention for potential applications, such as optical clock distribution [1], and photonic analog to digital converters [2]. Recent development of few cycle optical pulse generation and optical frequency metrology have enabled the precise control of optical frequency combs for applications of frequency references for telecommunications, coherent optical waveform synthesis [3] and coherent optical communications [4].…”

“…Nonetheless, most coherent mixing processes in optical heterodyne detection require strict optical frequency and phase synchronization between the carrier frequencies in master oscillators (MO) and the frequency combs in local oscillators (LO). Recently there has been extensive work on optical injection locking techniques to achieve this oscillator harmonization with modelocked semiconductor lasers [2,3,4].…”

The optical heterodyne detection for an extremely densely channelized coherent communication systems using phase coherent optical combs is demonstrated by using a passively modelocked semiconductor laser injection locked to a master laser oscillator. The single sideband noise of the heterodyne beat tone at 13.160 GHz was reduced to -123 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset from the carrier by exploiting the excellent noise rejection performance of a commercially available microwave bandpass filter. A signal-to-noise ratio of over 65 dB/Hz has been achieved in a single channel filtered from two analog RF signals detuned by only 200 MHz. These results show improved signal-to-noise ratio and superior crosstalk reduction between densely packed neighboring channels via electrical manipulation of the optical heterodyne detection signal.
