F. Detomasi et al., ASYMMETRIC PULSE-SHAPE IN THE LFF INSTABILITIES OF A SEMICONDUCTOR-LASER WITH OPTICAL FEEDBACK, IEEE journal of quantum electronics, 30(10), 1994, pp. 2277-2280
Monitoring the pulse shape of the low-frequency fluctuations instabili
ties of a semiconductor laser under optical feedback, an asymmetry bet
ween the fron and rear facet laser outputs has been detected for the f
irst time. This behavior is ascribed to a dynamic change in the cohere
nce properties of the emitted light during each laser pulse.
