Abstract
We present unified theoretical expressions for laser intensity noise in the presence of injection locking and feedback. We discuss optimum control str ategies for different configurations and frequency regions. We illustrate t he various effects with experimental results from Nd : YAG non-planar ring oscillator lasers.
