Abstract
Semiconductor lasers are highly sensitive to optical feedback due to their large gain and low facet reflectivities. Feedback can lead to a severe degradation of the spectral and temporal characteristics such as in the coherence collapse regime. When the laser is pumped near its threshold it typically operates in the low frequency fluctuation (LFF) regime where the intensity exhibits irregularly occurring dropout events.
