Abstract

A Delay Differential equation m odel of abidirectionally c oupled two section combsourceis investigated. The model consists of a single mode Primary Laser (PL) bidirectionally coupled to a single mode Secondary Laser (SL). Optical Frequency Combs (OFCs) are then generated in the SL via gain switching. An investigation into the impact of this gain switching frequency on the comb generated in each laser is then performed. Stable, well defined combs are obtained form odulationf requenciesc lose to the R elaxation O scillation Frequency (ROF) of the SL whilst poorly-defined, likely chaotic combs are produced when gain switchingc lose to the ROF of the PL.
