Claim 8:
9. An injection locking method for multiple optical sources, comprising:
receiving a single optical source;
injection locking a plurality of optical source generators using the optical source; and
generating, at each of the plurality of optical source generators, an optical source output having optical characteristics the same as the optical source;
feeding, via a first optical circulator of a first optical source generator of the plurality of optical source generators, the optical source into a resonator of a child laser of the first optical source generator to generate a first optical output;
splitting the first optical output, using an optical power splitter, into a first optical source output and a first injection locking output; and
feeding the first injection locking output into a second of the plurality of optical source generators.
