The results show that the frequency of the generated microwave increases linearly with the frequency detuning or optical injection ratio. In addition, a single optical feedback loop is sufficient to reduce the microwave linewidth without significantly deteriorating side mode suppression. The simulation results using a model considering the nonlinear dependencies of the carrier recombination agree well with the experimental results, which indicates that the nonlinear carrier recombination effect is important in determining the nonlinear dynamics of optically injected DM lasers.}, organization = {This research was funded in part by the DESTINI project (2017/COL/007) funded by the ERDF under the SMART Expertise scheme; in part by the DSP Centre (82085) funded by the ERDF through the Welsh Government; and in part by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, Spain, under grant RTI2018-094118-B-C22 MCIN/AEI/FEDER, UE.}, publisher = {MDPI}, publisher = {Photonics, 2022, 9(3), 171}, title = {Microwave Photonic Signal Generation in an Optically Injected Discrete Mode Semiconductor Laser}, author = {Chang, Da and Zhong, Zhuqiang and Valle Gutiérrez, Ángel and Jin, Wei and Jiang, Shan and Tang, Jianming and Hong, Yanhua}, }
