Abstract
Mode hopping in external-cavity AlGaAs diode lasers has been studied e xperimentally. Its dependence on the amount of feedback and the extern al-cavity round-trip phase has been studied. The results are compared with the predictions of potential well models. As the feedback is incr eased the results differ considerably from this theory. A qualitative treatment is also presented.
