Abstract
We have shown that it is possible to injection lock a pulsed Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL). This is a cheap source of nanosecond pulsed light with a background noise of approximately ten percent. An inexpensive source of narrow-band pulsed light such as this could find many uses in quantum optics, such as the development of highbandwidth quantum memory.
