  • Abstract
    We present a detailed model for the current noise in semiconductor hetero-junction lasers and correlate the theoretical results with experimental measurements. The model is fully self-consistent and includes the carrier density fluctuations in the cladding (SCH) regions. The different processes contributing to the current noise are shown.
