Abstract

We present an experimental and theoretical study of a self-pulsing (GaAl)As injection laser operating in an external cavity. We have observed suppression of the self-pulsations when the external cavity is in the range 6<L<10 cm. Suppression of self-pulsations can also be obtained by using a multimode graded index optical fiber as the external resonator. These results can be explained by a model which includes the effects of an external cavity and electron trapping. For long cavity lengths, the self-pulsation frequency locks to an external cavity harmonic with no significant quenching, as observed in some earlier experiments.
