1. An injection locking laser source for an optical communications system, the injection locking laser source comprising:
a laser cavity configured to receive, from a remote primary laser source, an externally injected low linewidth primary light signal, wherein the laser cavity includes a cavity length, a cavity facet reflectivity, and a cavity quality factor; and
an emitting region configured to output a secondary light source injection locked to the externally injected low linewidth primary light signal at a stable detuning frequency based on a steady-state photon number, a steady-state phase, and a steady-state carrier number of the injection locking laser source,
wherein the steady-state photon number, the steady-state phase, and the steady-state carrier number represent substantially no time variation in a photon number, a phase, and a carrier number of the injection locking laser source, respectively.
