“…Comparing Figure 5 with Figure 4b, we can see that the linewidth and phase noise of the generated microwaves reach their local minima at the injection ratio where the maximum microwave power is achieved; these results are identical compared to those reported in DFB lasers [28]. In order to stabilize the fluctuation of the generated microwave and reduce its linewidth, the optical feedback technique used in DFB lasers and VCSELs [28,44] is adopted. In this experiment, only a single feedback loop is introduced.…”

In this paper, microwave photonic signal generation based on the period-one dynamic of optically injected discrete mode (DM) semiconductor lasers has been experimentally demonstrated and numerically simulated. The results show that the frequency of the generated microwave increases linearly with the frequency detuning or optical injection ratio. In addition, a single optical feedback loop is sufficient to reduce the microwave linewidth without significantly deteriorating side mode suppression. The simulation results using a model considering the nonlinear dependencies of the carrier recombination agree well with the experimental results, which indicates that the nonlinear carrier recombination effect is important in determining the nonlinear dynamics of optically injected DM lasers.

“…7 that the frequency varies within a range of ±2.15 MHz, which is a relatively normal level for P1-based microwave generator. This long-term stability is expected to be significantly reduced from several MHz to KHz by further introducing external optical feedback [21,23,24,28,29,31], optical injection [33], filtered feedback [34], or phase-locked loop [47]. This is the aim of our next work.…”

“…This has led to the discovery of a class of laser interferometry, named self-mixing interferometry (SMI), also known as optical feedback interferometry [4]. Under certain external settings (e.g., increasing the OF strength), the system leaves the stable state, then period-one oscillation can be invoked through the Hopf-bifurcation and accompanied by an undamped relaxation oscillation [5]. The period-one oscillation produces an intensity-modulated optical wave and gives regular pulsation at microwave frequencies [6][7][8][9].…”

In this study, a novel distance sensing method is presented by using a semiconductor laser (SL) with optical feedback (OF) and operating the SL at a switching status happened between two nonlinear dynamic states (stable state and period-one state). In this case, without the need for any electronic or optical modulation devices, the laser intensity can be modulated in a square wave form due to the switching via utilizing the inherent SL dynamics. The periodicity in the switching enables us to develop a new approach for long-distance sensing compared to other SL with OF-based distance measurement systems and lift the relevant restrictions that existed in the systems. Moreover, the impact of system controllable parameters on the duty cycle of the square wave signals generated was investigated on how to maintain the proposed system robustly operating at the switching status. Both simulation and experiment verified the proposed sensing approach.
