Abstract
Phase noise in semiconductor lasers has been investigated by many authors in the range of low frequencies (<1 MHz). In this letter we present for the first time phase noise measurements extended up to frequencies greater than 1 GHz. Experimental results showing the power spectral density Sφ̇(ω) of the instantaneous frequency φ̇(t) and the variance σ2[Δτφ(t)] of the phase shift Δτφ(t) are presented. The peculiar behavior of Sφ̇(ω), which presents a sharp peak at the same frequency of the amplitude noise peak, can account for the excessive broadening of the linewidth of single-mode injection lasers.
