Abstract
In subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) systems,1,2 such as CATV and mobile communication, low relative intensity noise (RIN) is essential to realize high carrier-to-noise ratio. However, external optical feedback from the surfaces of other devices, such as the optical connectors used in fiber communication systems, induces operational instability in laser diodes and increases RIN.
