An analytical study of injection locking in laser oscillators

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 42-43)Injection of a very week external signal into an oscillator leads to interesting locking phenomenon. This paper describes new insights into injection locking and formulates the behavior of phase locked laser oscillator under injection. Chapter 1 of the paper describes the physical characteristics of optical cavities, represents three -mirror cavity and related mathematical analyses. Chapter 2 summarizes semiconductor laser diodes. Chapter 3 covers an analytic expression for Adler's equation derived directly from Maxwell equations. Chapter 4, deals with backscattering power loss inside a cavity, and discusses the three mirror self injection locking model
