摘要
A novel scheme is presented for modelocking a Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser. This scheme is based on the optical injection of short optical pulses at a repetition frequency matched to one of the subharmonics of the cavity round-trip frequency. It is observed that the harmonic component of the injected pulse train is enhanced by the cavity resonance sufficiently to drive the output of the semiconductor laser into pulsed operation.
