Abstract
We have measured the noise characteristics of single-mode oxide confined surface emitting vertical cavity laser diodes. For pumping levels of more than 3.5 times threshold current, the relative intensity noise is below −150 dB/Hz up to 5 GHz at output powers near 1 mW. For various frequencies, we observe sub-Poissonian noise.Keywords
