Abstract
We theoretically simulate the linewidth compression dynamics of the semiconductor laser with a single external-cavity feedback. The evolution time from the periodic oscillation state to the equilibrium state is calculated by tracking the change of the intrinsic linewidth. The influences of the external-cavity length and feedback level are also explored. The linewidth evolution time of the external-cavity semiconductor laser can be extended with longer external cavity length and higher feedback level. Simultaneously, the intrinsic linewidth can be compressed while the side mode suppression ratio will be decreased. The simulation work show that the dynamic linewidth compression can be obtained by single external-cavity feedback, and nevertheless it is difficult to achieve the single-frequency output, which can instruct the design of the dynamical parameter tuning of the external-cavity semiconductor laser.
