Abstract
Noise in diode laser applications. Basics of diode lasers. Differences and similarities between optical and electronic devices. Dynamics and fundamental noise mechanisms in laser diodes; special difficulties en countered; present level of understanding. Intensity noise and frequen cy noise. Fundamental limits. Why can a laser diode generate an optica l beam with sub-Poissonian photon statistics? Noise in traveling wave laser diode amplifiers. Mode partition noise, transients and external reflections, jitter. Optical and electrical feedback. Future developme nts.
