Experimental demonstration of 1.3 μm VCSEL‐based optoelectronic oscillator at 12 GHz using optical injection‐locking technique

Abstract The experimental validation is presented of an optical injection‐locked (OIL) vertical‐cavity surface‐emitting laser (VCSEL)‐based optoelectronic oscillator (VBO) to overcome the direct‐modulation bandwidth limitations of packaged VCSELs. A 1.3 μm VCSEL under OIL is directly modulated at 12...
