Calculations of the frequency noise spectra and of the coherence functions between the electrical and the optical noises for a single-mode packaged vertical surface emitting laser (VCSEL) are reported.A rate-equation model for an index guided VCSEL is used, implemented with the electrical noise mode

β¦ Synopsis
Experimental investigations of the low frequency noise
of multimode 780 nm vertical cavity surface emitting lasers are
reported. Electrical noise, optical noise and their correlation
have been measured in the frequency range 1 Hzβ95 kHz. The
results show that the main contribution to the electrical noise is
located in the distributed Bragg reflector layers of the laser.
The optical power and pump current noise sources are strongly
correlated below and around the threshold, while are weakly
correlated above threshold. It is argued that the noise in the
optical power is due to both free injection carrier noise and
optical gain fluctuations.
