V. Jordan, GAIN MEASUREMENT OF SEMICONDUCTOR-LASER DIODES - REQUIREMENTS FOR THEWAVELENGTH RESOLUTION AND SENSITIVITY TO NOISE, IEE proceedings. Optoelectronics, 141(1), 1994, pp. 13-15
The gain-measurement methods of Hakki-Paoli and Cassidy are investigat
ed theoretically with respect to accuracy of gain evaluation and sensi
tivity to noise. The Cassidy method proves to be less sensitive to noi
se than the Hakki-Paoli method if an additional averaging procedure is
introduced. The results presented permit easy establishment of the re
quired performance of an appropriate measurement system.
