摘要
The conversion of laser phase noise to intensity fluctuation noise in optical fibers due to mixing with Rayleigh scattered light is considered. A theory combining the laser quantum phase dynamics and the statistical scattering in the fiber leads to simple expressions for the spectral densities of the intensity fluctuations in a number of generic cases. These are compared with experiments involving distributed feedback semiconductor lasers and low-loss fibers with lengths up to 20 km.
