Abstract

The authors study an optical homodyne receiver using an injection-locked semiconductor laser as a local oscillator. The carrier recovery process introduces a phase error, and the calculation of its statistical properties leads to the evaluation of the receiver performance. The analysis shows the dependence of the receiver performance on the injected power and the phase detuning, between the transmitter, and local oscillator electric fields. The receiver performance is affected by the phase noises of the transmitter and local oscillators, by the shot noise of the detectors in the receiver, and by the modulation noise resulting from the injection locking of the local oscillator by a modulated signal.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
