Figure 2. Power spectrum of the RF signal generated by beating two self-injection locked DFB lasers on a fast photodiode.

Figure 2

RF carrier frequency is kept at 8.7 GHz, resolution bandwidth is 300 kHz and video bandwidth is 3 kHz. The noise floor is determined by Johnson–Nyquist noise of the photodiode. Inset (a): linewidth measurement performed with 30-Hz-resolution bandwidth. Points stand for the experimental data. Continuous red line is a 60-Hz Lorentzian fit of the data. Inset (b): comparison of the RF spectra generated by beating of two self-injection locked lasers (curve (2)) and one injection locked and one free running lasers (curve (1)).
