Intensity noise of mode-locked fiber lasers.
Intensity noise of mode-locked fiber lasers is characterized systematically for all major mode-locking regimes over a wide range of parameters. We find that equally low-noise performance can be obtained in all regimes. Losses in the cavity influence noise strongly without a clear trace in the pulse characteristics. Given that high-energy fiber laser oscillators reported to date have utilized la...
متن کاملFrequency Dynamics of Gain-Switched Injection-Locked Semiconductor Lasers
The frequency dynamics of gain-switched singlemode semiconductor lasers subject to optical injection is investigated. The requirements for low time jitter and reduced frequency chirp operation are studied as a function of the frequency mismatch between the master and slave lasers. Suppression of the power overshoot, typical during gain-switched operation, can be achieved for selected frequency ...
متن کاملTheoretical Modeling of Intensity Noise in InGaN Semiconductor Lasers
This paper introduces modeling and simulation of the noise properties of the blue-violet InGaN laser diodes. The noise is described in terms of the spectral properties of the relative intensity noise (RIN). We examine the validity of the present noise modeling by comparing the simulated results with the experimental measurements available in literature. We also compare the obtained noise result...
متن کاملInfluence of Injection–Current Noise on the Spectral Characteristics of Semiconductor Lasers
The spectral characteristics of a semiconductor laser are altered by injecting additional noise current into its currentdrive port. A continuously varying spectral linewidth from about 5 MHz to above 100 MHz is achieved experimentally in this semiconductor laser. The conditions under which the line shape changes from a standard Lorentzian shape to a Gaussian shape as functions of laser power an...
متن کاملIntensity and phase noise in microcavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers
The noise characteristics of vertical-cavity surface-emitting (VCSE) lasers are studied by using the Langevin rate equations modified suitably to include the enhanced spontaneous emission occurring in such microcavity lasers. The intensity and frequency noise spectra show the effects induced by suppression of relaxation oscillations. However, such a suppression depends on the output power as we...
