摘要
The dissipative Kerr soliton microcomb provides a promising laser source for wavelength-division multiplexing(WDM)communication systems thanks to its compatibility with chip integration.However,the soliton microcomb commonly suffers from a low-power level due to the intrinsically limited energy conversion efficiency from the continuous-wave pump laser to ultra-short solitary pulses.Here,we exploit laser injection locking to amplify and equalize dissipative Kerr soliton comb lines,superior gain factor larger than 30 dB,and optical-signal-to-noise-ratio(OSNR)as high as 60 dB obtained experimentally,providing a potential pathway to constitute a high-power chip-integrated WDM laser source for optical communications.
