Abstract :
Important information about the high-speed operation of semiconductor lasers can be extracted from a study of their noise spectral properties. The optical spectrum of a semiconductor laser consists of a main central peak surrounded by sidebands detuned from the main peak by the laser relaxation oscillation frequency. In this paper, we present a detailed study of the optical spectrum of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs)
