摘要：

A discriminator-aided optical phase-locked loop (OPLL) with significantly enhanced frequency acquisition capability is presented, Its pull-in range is measured to be 300 MHz and can he easily extended further. Two grating-tuned external-cavity semiconductor lasers (ECSL's) were realized with more than 30-dB side-mode suppression ratio, These two lasers were allowed to beat on a fast detector and were offset phase locked, The generated microwave signal was found to be a replica of the reference RF signal close to the carrier. The noise level was measured to be -70 dBc/Hz close to the carrier and less than -100 dBc/Hz at 4 MHz array and beyond from the carries, The total phase variance is 0.11 rad(2) over a 500-MHz bandwidth, The linewidth full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the locked signal was directly measured to he of order 1 mHz.
