ABSTRACT:
An apparatus containing an integrated optical circuit that enhances phase stability of the injection-locking process of two slave lasers. The integrated optical circuit helps to reduce phase noise by keeping environmental or mechanical perturbations uniform everywhere on that circuit. Also, the integrated optical circuit provides connections for additional components to be coupled, which can monitor and control the performance characteristics of the integrated optical circuit and the injection-locking process.
