Abstract
The frequency distribution of relative intensity noise for a GaAlAs BH laser diode is changed significantly by radio frequency carriers above 10 MHz and -5dBm. indicating that gain compression has occurred. For an optical transmission system with multiple inputs, weak RF carriers may be severely suppressed in the presence of other strong RF carriers owing to the gain compression effect.
