  • Abstract
    We present coherent phase modulation detection for laser phase noise measurements with delayed self-heterodyne method. The technique is demonstrated for the first time with the distributed feedback laser and external cavity laser. The results are within 15% of self-homodyne measurements using an optical coherent receiver.
