Abstract
This paper is intended to elaborate on the investigation and suppression of the relative intensity noise of a diode pumped Nd:YVO4 microchip laser. In addition to noise suppression at the relaxation oscillations, noise analysis is also reported. For these investigations a very simple, rate-equation-based model of the laser transfer function was used.
