Abstract

We report what is to our knowledge the first observation of synchronous coherent injection locking of an actively mode-locked extended cavity semiconductor laser to an external light pulse train. In the temporal domain, we observed experimentally and verified theoretically a significant narrowing of the output pulse of the mode-locked laser. In the spectral domain, we demonstrated experimentally the narrowing of the output optical spectrum that was due to rejection of spectral components outside the spectral band of the locking pulses. Locking ranges, in the time and the frequency domains, were measured to be ~200 ps and ~5 nm, respectively.
