Coherence collapse in single-mode semiconductor lasers due to optical feedback
Abstract
Line broadening up to 25 GHz in a single-mode semiconductor laser with relatively strong optical feedback is reported and theoretically analyzed. Measurements of the coherence function were performed using a Michelson interferometer and demonstrate that the coherence length decreases by a factor 1000 (to approximately 10 mm) due to optical feedback. A self-consistent theoretical description is given, which is based on the view that coherence collapse is maintained due to optical-feedback-delay effects, in which quantum fluctuations play no role of importance. A connection with recently suggested chaotic behavior is made. The theoretical results obtained are in good qualitative and reasonable quantitative agreement with measurements.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
