  • Abstract
    The observed correlation between the linewidth rebroadening and the low-frequency relative-intensity noise (RIN) enhancement at high operating power in nearly-singlemode semiconductor lasers is explained by using the two-mode rate equations which include both the self- and cross-saturation contributions to the nonlinear gain.
