Abstract :
An experimental set-up is described, allowing for reliable relative intensity noise (RIM) measurements for a wide feedback range. It could be verified experimentally for DFB-lasers that the transition to the coherence collapse regime occurs at significantly larger feedback levels, if the laser is operated at larger optical powers. Furthermore, it has been noted that a large coupling strength kappa L in DFB lasers is beneficial for improved stability against optical feedback.
