Abstract

We report on an efficient method for suppressing stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) with negligible residual amplitude modulation (AM) using the temperature tunable properties of a semiconductor laser diode. We demonstrate an effective threshold of 23.4 dBm by applying a 16 V/sub pp/, 5 kHz sinusoid to a thin-film resistor on top of the laser diode. The residual AM is measured to be only 1.2/spl middot/10/sup -4/.
