Abstract-The nonlinear dynamical period-one oscillation of an optically injected semiconductor laser is investigated analytically. The oscillation is commonly observed when the injection is moderately strong and positively detuned from the Hopf bifurcation boundary. The laser emits continuous-wave optical signal with periodic intensity oscillation. Since the oscillation frequency is widely tunable beyond the relaxation oscillation frequency, the system can be regarded as a high-speed photonic microwave source. In this paper, analytical solution of the oscillation is presented for the first time. By applying a two-wavelength approximation to the rate equations, we obtain mathematical expressions that characterize the oscillation. The analysis explains the physical origin of the periodic intensity oscillation as the beating between two wavelengths, namely, the injected wavelength and the cavity resonance wavelength. As the injection strength increases, the optical gain reduces, the cavity is red-shifted through the antiguidance effect, and so the beat frequency increases continuously. The theoretical analysis is useful for designing the system for photonic microwave applications.

“…Photonic microwave generation based on P1 oscillation has been investigated extensively in conventional single mode distributed feedback (DFB) laser [14,15]. The results show that 100 GHz with tuning range of tens of gigahertz photonic microwave signal can be achieved using P1 oscillation in DFB lasers [16]. Recently, a tunable photonic microwave with continuous tuning of the frequency up to 20 GHz has also been achieved experimentally in a quantum dot (QD) laser based on P1 oscillation [17].…”

Photonic microwave generation based on period-one dynamics of an optically injected VCSEL has been study experimentally. The results have shown that the frequency of the generated microwave signal can be broadly tunable through the adjustment of the injection power and the frequency detuning. Strong optical injection power and higher frequency detuning are favorable for obtaining a high frequency microwave signal. These results are similar to those found in systems based on distributed feedback lasers and quantum dot lasers. The variation of the microwave power at the fundamental frequency and the second-harmonic distortion have also been characterized.

“…These filtered signals are then passed through photo-detector which will convert these optical signals directly into baseband signals. Low pass filters(Cutoff frequency = .75 * Bit rate Hz) are used to filter higher frequency components and finally we will get data which was initially transmitted [6], [7], [8]. Table 4(1).…”
