Abstract
An increase of the relative intensity noise of nearly single-mode dist ributed feedback lasers with respect to that predicted by single-mode theory after propagation in dispersive fiber at frequencies up to 5 Gh z has been measured. A simplified multimode theory is presented which explains the increase in noise. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics .
