Abstract
The effect of low frequency (1/f) carrier noise on the linewidth of a semiconductor laser is investigated. Theoretical results suggest that broadening is strongly dependent on the 3 dB corner frequency of the 1/f noise. As an example, a linewidth of 80 MHz broadens to 110 MHz with a 5 MHz corner frequency.
