Abstract

Theory and experiments on optical feedback effects in index-guided singlemode semiconductor lasers are presented. Evidence is found for the existence of a characteristic parameter C which indicates the relative strength of the optical feedback. Near the transition (C \approx 1.0) from low to high feedback, the feedback-induced low-frequency intensity noise shows a maximum. At higher feedback hysteresis and instabilities are dominant, whereas the feedback-induced noise is low again.
