SLD Sensitivity to Optical Feedback.

Download Whitepaper
This Application Note deals with some details about SLD sensitivity to optical feedback. This sensitivity is an intrinsic property of SLD devices that occurs due to very high optical gain in the active region and gain saturation phenomena. The more powerful is the SLD the more sensitive it is to optical feedback. General consideration of SLD sensitivity to backreflections is available in “Superluminescent Diodes.
