Abstract
In this letter, we suggest a new method for significantly enhancing th e intrinsic bandwidth of a laser diode through the use of an injection locking technique. Our analysis shows that for moderate and high-inje ction levels, the bandwidth of a laser diode can be increased to sever al times its free-running bandwidth.
