solution for increasing the detuning range, sidemode injection lockingtechnique is proposed. In this scheme, light is injected into a highly suppressedDFB (Distributed Feedback) laser Fabry-Perot mode instead <strong>of</strong> the DFB lasermain-mode. In sidemode optical injection locking, as the sidemode lasingpower is very low, the unstable locking characteristics due to mode beatingbetween the ML and SL do not easily occur, and the stable locking range canbe extended.In this thesis, the distortion characteristics and locking characteristics <strong>of</strong>injection locked DFB lasers are analyzed and the effects <strong>of</strong> the sidemodeinjection locking characteristics in locking range and distortion suppressionare investigated. First, Section II deals with nonlinear distortion characteristics<strong>of</strong> directly modulated DFB lasers with Volterra series expansion and numericalanalysis <strong>of</strong> the laser rate equation model. In Section III, the parameterdependent injection locking bandwidth and the laser nonlinear distortionsuppression according to the injection power and wavelengths are investigated.Finally, Section IV deals with the sidemode injection locking characteristicsand demonstrate that, by using sidemode injection locking, the nonlineardistortions are suppressed greatly and the stable locking range is extended by afactor <strong>of</strong> two compared to the main-mode injection locking experimentally.3
