Abstract :
An experimental setup for the measurement of the nonstationary intensity fluctuations during the turn-on transient of semiconductor lasers is presented. Measurements are carried out and compared with simulations, which are based on rate equations with Langevin fluctuation functions. Good agreement between theory and measurements is found, and it is confirmed that the nonstationary intensity noise can be interpreted as timing jitter
