Abstract :
The effects of phase dither on the magnitude and spectral distribution of interferometric fiber optic noise and intermodulation products is considered. A theory is presented as well as experimental data which show major reduction of AM noise brought about by intentional narrow band and wide band phase dither of the laser output
