Longitudinal Mode Spectrum of Lasing Emission

  • Chapter
Laser Diode Modulation and Noise

Part of the book series: Advances in Optoelectronics (ADOP) ((ADOP,volume 3))

Abstract

The spectra of laser diodes may differ considerably from one another as we have already illustrated in Fig. 2.19. Since this book also considers how such spectra are altered due to modulation, one should first understand the spectral characteristics when the laser diodes are cw-operated.
