Excess noise in Pb(1-x)Sn(x)Se semiconductor lasersThe noise characteristics of the TDL were studied for frequencies less than 20 kHz. For heterodyne applications, the high frequency ( 1 MHz) characteristics are also important. Therefore, the high frequency noise characteristics of the TDL were studied as a part of a full TDL characterization program which has been implemented for the improvement of the TDL as a local oscillator in the LHS system. It was observed that all the devices showed similar high frequency noise characteristics even though they were all constructed using different techniques. These common high frequency noise characteristics are reported.
