Abstract
The statistics of the instantaneous frequency fluctuations of CW narrowed-linewidth single-mode semiconductor lasers are studied under the most general conditions. In the case in which the rate equations describing the evolution of the system cannot be linearized the statistics are found to deviate appreciably from a Gaussian distribution. A Monte Carlo simulation is shown to give results in good agreement with previous experimental measurements
