“…OHERENT optical frequency combs (OFCs) with narrow optical linewidths have various applications in optical communication systems such as multi-carrier transmission systems in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) [1], coherent wavelength division multiplexing (CoWDM) [2], arbitrary waveform generation [3], [4], all optical signal processing [5], and millimeter-wave generation [6]. A number of techniques have been proposed for the generation of OFCs such as using cascaded intensity and/or phase modulators [7], [8], fibre or semiconductor based ring-cavity mode-locked lasers [9], [10], direct modulation of gain-switched discretemode lasers [11], and semiconductor mode-locked lasers [12].…”

Abstract-In this paper, we describe generation and application of wide, narrow linewidth optical frequency combs using dualmode injection-locking of InP quantum-dash mode-locked lasers. In the first part, the dependence of the RF locking-range on the device's absorber voltage is experimentally investigated. Under optimized absorber voltage, a continuous, wide RF locking-range of ≈400 MHz is achievable for lasers with 21 GHz repetition rate. The total RF locking-range of ≈440 MHz is possible considering of locking-range for positive and negative absorber voltages. This wide tuning >2% of the repetition rate, a record for a monolithic mode-locked laser, is reported from a two-section device without any additional passive section or extended-cavity for repetition rate tuning. It is shown that the effective RF locking-range in dual-mode injection corresponds to the optical locking-range and repetition rate tuning under CW injection which is wider when the free-running mode-locking operation is "less stable". The widest comb consists of 35 narrow lines within 10 dB of the peak, spanning ≈ 0.7 THz, generating 3.7 ps pulses. In the second part, we show the first demonstration of multi pump phase-synchronization of two 10 Gb/s DPSK channels in a phasesensitive amplifier using dual-mode injection-locking technique. The phase-sensitive amplifier based on "black box" scheme shows more than 7 dB phase-sensitive gain and error free performance for both input channels with 1 dB penalty.Index Terms-Mode-locked lasers, optical-injection-locking, optical frequency combs, quantum-dash lasers, and phasesensitive amplifiers.

Abstract-Spectral slicing of a supercontinuum source has a good prospect in the applications of the wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM)-radio-over-fiber(RoF) systems. A comb filter based on superstructure fiber Bragg grating (SSFBG) to slice the supercontinuum spectrum generated in the photonic crystal fiber is designed and experimentally demonstrated. This method provides a low cost solution for WDM-RoF optical source.Keywords-supercontinuum; wavelength division multiplex (WDM); radio over fiber (RoF); superstructure fiber Bragg grating (SSFBG)

“…The minimum comb line power within the 2 THz span is -20 dBm. There is no drop out of any particular comb lines (no missing lines), except at the reference wavelength, which in many applications it is desired to remove or suppress [10] anyway. A slight imbalance in longer wavelength and shorter wavelength sides of the optical comb can be attributed to the four wave mixing and a small gain slope in the round-trip transmittance.…”
