Abstract
A first pump laser source produces a first pump optical signal at a first pump optical frequency vand launches it into a ring optical resonator to propagate in a forward direction around the ring optical resonator. A backscattered portion of the first pump optical signal propagates back to the first pump laser source and injection-locks it so that the first pump optical frequency vis locked to a first resonant mode optical frequency of the ring optical resonator. A second laser source producing a second pump optical signal at a second optical frequency vand can be similarly self-injection-locked to a second resonant mode optical frequency of the ring optical resonator different from the first resonant mode optical frequency.
