Analysis of the transmission, reflection and noise properties of distributed feedback laser amplifiers

The transmission and reflection characteristics of distributed feedback (DFB) laser amplifiers are determined. Near the oscillation threshold of a DFB mode a relation is found between gain and bandwidth which can be used to obtain an expression for an intrinsic noise linewidth that is analogous to t...

Description
Summary:The transmission and reflection characteristics of distributed feedback (DFB) laser amplifiers are determined. Near the oscillation threshold of a DFB mode a relation is found between gain and bandwidth which can be used to obtain an expression for an intrinsic noise linewidth that is analogous to that found by Schawlow and Townes.
