Abstract :
Summary form only given.Laser diodes with pump noise suppression are reliable sources for the generation of amplitude-squeezed light. Recently, it was shown that this amplitude squeezing is not always a single mode effect but can result from a cancellation among anticorrelated fluctuations between the main mode and competing side modes. To obtain more details on this correlation effect, we performed spectrally resolved intensity noise measurements with a pump noise suppressed SDL 5410-C (810 nm) diode laser in different configurations: free-running, injection-locked, and with an external Littrow grating feedback.
