Abstract
Stable phase locking of an electrically pumped vertical cavity surface -emitting semiconductor laser (VCSEL) was demonstrated experimentally by injecting Light from an edge-emitting master laser into the slave l aser VCSEL cavity within a large detuning range (similar to 80 GHz). B y varying the injected power and frequency detuning, a variety of inte resting nonlinear behavior was observed. A theoretical model based on two-held rate equations is presented and compared with experiment, sho wing good agreement.
