Abstract
The phenomena occurring in semiconductor lasers due to weak external optical feedback are reviewed, including mode hopping and related mode-hopping noise, linewidth narrowing and broadening, and the transition to the coherence collapse regime. Guidelines are given for designing semiconductor lasers, both edge emitters and VCSEL´s, with high endurance against external optical feedback
