Different 1550 nm fibered lasers are compared versus their performances in terms of frequency (FM) noise and amplitude (AM) noise. The noise spectral density is spread over six to height decades for the FM noise and three to four decades for the AM noise, depending on the frequency offset. The lasers featuring the best FM noise performance are generally the worst versus the AM noise performance, although some compromises can be found.
Numerical results on a COEO device providing a better understanding of its phase-noise behavior are presented. A special focus is made on the quality factor dependence on the chromatic dispersion and detuning, completing previously published models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
