Abstract

We propose optical injection phase locked loop (OIPLL) as a regenerative amplifier for optical frequency transfer applications. The optical injection locking (OIL) provides high gain within a narrow bandwidth (give an approximatel number here if you can), allowing for very low optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) degradation. and is capable of preserving the fractional frequency stability of the incoming carrier to better than 10-18 at 1000 s . The OIPLL was tested in the field as a mid-span amplifier for the transfer of an ultra-stable optical carrier, stabilized to an optical frequency standard, over a 292 km-long installed dark fiber link. The transferred frequency at the remote end reached fractional frequency instability less than 1 × 10-19 at averaging time of 3200 s.
