“1975”）。 Semiconductor lasers have lower reflectance than conventional gas lasers due to the use of wall openings in the mirrors that make up the resonator, and a lower Q value (quality factor) due to the shorter resonator length. ) was low, making it impossible to stabilize the longitudinal mode. For these reasons, when semiconductor lasers are used for optical communications, the instability of the oscillation frequency causes noise, increases material dispersion, and significantly reduces transmission capacity. To solve these problems, frequency stabilization techniques have recently advanced, and attempts have been made to make the longitudinal mode single (K. AiKi, APL 30 649 "1977"). Attempts have also been made to equip a semiconductor laser with an external resonator to apparently increase the Q value and stabilize the frequency (1973 National Conference of the Institute of Electronics and Communication Engineers, 785, p. 4).

する。 In consideration of the above problems, the present invention selects the oscillation frequency of a semiconductor laser using an external resonator constituting an optical phase-locked loop, and then performs optical injection locking from the outside to stabilize the frequency. Furthermore, if the synchronization is lost, the semiconductor laser is designed to stabilize the oscillation frequency by detecting the frequency difference between the injected light and the oscillated light and always maintaining the synchronized state in a synchronization control loop. The present invention provides an optical injection locking device. Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

期制御ループを構成しておくことが必要である。 First, before describing embodiments of the present invention, the principle will be explained. In a semiconductor laser, a Fabry-Perot resonator configured with a wall opening is short, and the reflectance of the wall opening is low, so the Q value representing the loss of the resonator is low. That is, it shows that the longitudinal mode is unstable. Therefore, in order to stabilize the frequency of the semiconductor laser, it is necessary to increase the Q value externally. However, if the Q value is only controlled externally, the frequency will fluctuate depending on the ambient temperature and other environmental changes. Therefore, an extremely stable frequency can be obtained by an optical injection locking method in which light of a desired frequency is externally injected. In addition, in order to prevent the oscillation frequency of the semiconductor laser from changing after injection locking, a synchronization control loop must be configured to compare the injected optical frequency and the oscillation frequency and feed back the error signal negatively to the external resonator. It is necessary.

発振周波数に注入同期させる。 Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. First, in order to synchronize the semiconductor laser 1 to a certain desired oscillation frequency and obtain a stable oscillation frequency, rough frequency selection is required. For this purpose, the temperature of the laser 1 is controlled by the oven 2, and a desired oscillation frequency is selected. Next, the oscillation frequency is selected by an external resonator formed by the end face of the semiconductor laser 1 and the diffraction grating 5, and further fine tuning is performed by the tuner 4. In this way, the frequency of light can be selected within a certain frequency range. However, this is all about controlling the Q value of the resonator based on external conditions, and it is not always easy to stably fix the frequency. Therefore, as mentioned above, at the stage where the frequency is selected within a certain frequency range, the light from the laser 6, which has a very stable frequency, is injected into the semiconductor laser 1, and the oscillation frequency of the semiconductor laser 1 is changed to the oscillation frequency of the laser 6. Injection locks to the oscillation frequency.

へ動作する。 Here, the permissible frequency width of the injection-locked laser 1 follows equation (1) according to Adler (Proc. IEEE, 34
pp. 351-357 “1946”). Letting Δω nax be the maximum allowable injection locking width, becomes. Here, ω 0 is the injection frequency, Q is the quality factor determined by the structure of the semiconductor laser,
Psource is the injection signal power, and Posc is the oscillation power of the semiconductor laser. Therefore, injection locking is achieved while formula (1) is satisfied, but due to disturbances in the oscillation power or changes in the Q value, the locking frequency width of Δω nax changes, causing the injection frequency to change to the locking width. If it becomes impossible to include the injection frequency within the injection frequency, that is, if it becomes asynchronous, it is necessary to return the frequency width to the original position where it can be synchronized with the injection frequency. For this purpose, the oscillation frequency is always kept stable using a synchronous control loop. This synchronous control loop is constructed as follows. First, the light emitted from the laser 6 is separated by a half mirror 7 and passed through a modulator 15 including a microwave oscillator 21 and an amplifier 22.
The frequency of the light from the laser 6 is shifted by 200 MHz, and the light is guided to the light receiver 18 (avalanche photodiode and PIN diode). Also laser 6
When the light is injected, the emitted light from the laser 1 is separated by a half mirror 12 and further guided to a light receiver 18 by a half mirror 17. Since laser light with a deviation of 200 MHz from the injection frequency has already arrived at the light receiving surface of the light receiver 18, the output of the light receiver 18 is
A beat frequency equivalent to 200MHz will appear. Therefore, this output signal is guided to the discriminator 19. If the semiconductor laser 1 is injection-locked to the frequency of the laser 6, the beat frequency is 200 MHz, but if it is asynchronous, a signal frequency corresponding to the error is added. Therefore, in order to detect only the asynchronous error signal, a 200 MHz signal is sent from the oscillator 21 to the frequency discriminator 19 through the amplifier 23, and this error signal is extracted. The error signal generated in the case of non-synchronization is amplified by the amplifier 20 and negatively fed back to the tuner 4. If this tuner 4 has been operating in the direction of increasing the external resonator length,
It operates in the direction of shortening the resonator length by a negative error signal.

れる。 Through the above operations, the oscillation frequency of the semiconductor laser 1 is set to a frequency width Δω nax that always satisfies injection locking.
It is now possible to match the frequency of the injection-locked laser 6, always satisfying the injection-locking conditions,
Oscillates at the injection frequency. Note that the lenses 3 and 13 are used to condense the light injected into the semiconductor laser 1 and take out the oscillated light, and condense the light to the modulator 15 and take out the oscillated light.
The extraction is performed using lenses 14 and 16. Furthermore, in order to avoid the effect on the laser 6 due to the reflection of light on the wall opening of the semiconductor laser 1, and to prevent the output light 11 from being affected by reflection by the internal optical system,
Each is equipped with isolators 8 and 10. Laser light having an extremely stable oscillation frequency is output by the half mirror 9 to the outside as output light 11 by the optical injection locking device for the semiconductor laser described above.
