Abstract :
This paper presents measurements on the low frequency fluctuations (LFF) of power drops in a semiconductor laser with optical feedback. Data are collected for roundtrip time to the external mirror between 6 nsec to 60 nsec. Experimental findings are qualitatively verified by computations with the Lang-Kobayashi model for the LFF phenomenon.
