Abstract

We find experimentally that the relaxation oscillation (RO) peak in the relative intensity noise (RIN) of a semiconductor laser broadens by adding noise to the pump current. In our experiments we use a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser. The broadening of the RIN peak with increasing carrier noise level is interpreted to be due to an increase of the non-linear gain saturation.
