Abstract:Optical injection locking is implemented to faithfully transfer the phase noise of a dissipative Kerr microresonator soliton comb in addition to the amplification of the Kerr comb. Unlike Er-doped fiber amplifiers and semiconductor optical amplifiers, the optical injection locking amplifies the comb mode without degradation of the optical signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, we show that the residual phase noise of the optical injection locking is small enough to transfer the relative phase noise of the comb mo… Show more
