Abstract
phase tuning of injection-locked single-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitti ng laser diodes (VCSELs) is investigated experimentally with two slave VCSE Ls being locked by a master VCSEL. By slightly varying the laser current an d thereby the frequency within the locking range, a maximum phase shift of more than 0.8 pi is achieved. The method is applicable to large injection-l ocked VCSEL arrays.
