  • Abstract
    A model of a self-heterodyne-type electrical feedback semiconductor laser is presented. The effects of electrical feedback on the AM noise of a semiconductor laser are discussed on the basis of the model. It is shown that the FM noise can be greatly reduced by electrical feedback. However, this reduction is always accompanied by AM noise enhancement. The AM noise can also be reduced by this scheme under some conditions with the enhancement of the FM noise. This means that AM noise reduction and FM noise reduction can be interchanged by using this method. The influence of feedback parameters on the noise is discussed
