Abstract
The relative intensity noise of narrow linewidth DFB lasers in the vicinity of linewidth floors is measured. A strong correlation between linewidth rebroadening and a corresponding increase in the relative intensity noise for frequencies below 3 GHz is observed for devices with mode suppression ratios in excess of 35 dB.
