Abstract
We propose and investigate a method for controlling the spectrum of the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser by simultaneous modulation of the injection current at single and doubled frequencies. We experimentally demonstrate the ability to control the power asymmetry of the first-order sidebands and to suppress the carrier by the proposed method. These possibilities are beneficial to improve frequency stability of atomic clocks based on the effect of coherent population trapping.
