Abstract

The small size, high efficiency and high output nower of solid state GaAlAs single-mode diode lasers make them a convenient source for fiber optic sensor systems. However, the transition from laboratory setups to packaged devices has led to a number of problems primarily caused by the source. The problems of the output of these single-mode devices, which result in a loss of sensor sensitivity may be split into three basic groups:

  1. 1.

    Coherence length

  2. 2.

    Amplitude noise

  3. 3.

    Phase noise.
