Lecture

Laser Diodes: Relaxation Oscillations

Description

This lecture covers the theory behind laser diodes, focusing on relaxation oscillations and their impact on laser modulation. It explains the concept of random intensity noise (RIN) and its effect on laser performance, with a practical example of a Nd:YAG laser. The discussion includes the calculation of amplitude fluctuations and the relative intensity noise spectrum. The instructor emphasizes the importance of understanding relaxation oscillations for modern laser applications.
