Improving the Performance of Optical Phased Array by Reducing Relative Intensity Noise of Optically Injection-Locked Laser Array

Relative intensity noise (RIN) is an important factor that determines the performance of optical phased arrays (OPA) that are configured using semiconductor lasers as light emission sources. This study proposes a method of improving the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of an OPA by reducing the...
