Abstract
Power partition fluctuations in distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers, when two degenerate DFB modes1 are the only significant longitudinal modes, have not been reported previously, although such information is important for designing reliable fiber-optic systems employing DFB lasers. We present measurements and theoretical analysis of the partition noise in a DFB laser operating cw with the two degenerate modes.
