Intensity noise reduction in semiconductor lasers by amplitude-phase decorrelation

Abstract

Detuned operation of a laser results in coupling of field amplitude and phase fluctuations. In a semiconductor laser, this coupling is known to be very large. We demonstrate that it can be used to significantly reduce intensity noise below its intrinsic limit.
