Laser Noise and Linewidth

Compatibility:

Laser Intensity Noise.osd (see Figure 1) shows the laser spectral in CW operation at several power levels.

The laser exhibits fluctuations in its intensity, phase, and frequency, even when the laser is biased at a constant current with negligible current fluctuations (see Figure 2).
