Abstract
Self-injection locking is a dynamic process that passively stabilizes the emission frequency of a laser through resonant optical feedback. In the conventional approach, the laser is self-injection locked to a high-Q microresonator via front facet coupling. However, the front facet power of such lasers is limited by nonlinear effects in the microresonator. In this study, we propose an alternative self-injection locking scheme using a back facet-coupled laser, where the power from the back facet is optimally tuned to avoid nonlinear effects in the microresonator. We develop a model for the proposed scheme and find the optimal states of the scheme.
