Abstract
An experimental study on optical injection locking of X‐band silicon IMPATT oscillators was carried out. The locking process was achieved by modulating a cw GaAlAs laser at subharmonics of the IMPATT oscillation frequency and optically injected into the IMPATT diode. A locking range of several megahertz can be obtained at frequency ratios ranging from 4:1 to 8:1.Keywords
