A. Egan et al., THEORETICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF ELECTROOPTICAL SYNCHRONIZATION OF SELF-PULSATING LASER-DIODES, IEE proceedings. Optoelectronics, 143(1), 1996, pp. 31-36
The synchronisation mechanism of self-pulsating. laser diodes is deter
mined and it is shown how this results in a frequency-dependent phase
difference between the electrical input and optical output. The time-t
o-lock of the electrical input to the optical output is examined, part
icularly with regard to the importance of the initial phase difference
between the signals. The effect of synchronisation on timing jitter i
n self-pulsating lasers is also investigated.
