Abstract :
Relative intensity noise (RIN) characteristics of a frequency stabilised grating-coupled modelocked semiconductor laser (MSL) have been experimentally investigated. Reported is the first measurement, to the authors´ knowledge, of general RIN characteristics as well as RIN reduction in the frequency stabilised MSL system showing the relationship between RIN and mode coherency in the MSL
