Abstract
The use of integrated optical techniques in interferometer sensor systems requires a semiconductor laser source with low noise and highly stable spectral qualities. For the most part single-mode semiconductor laser sources are available with free running amplitude noise characteristics comparable with single-mode He-Ne gas lasers.1 Typically diode lasers oscillate on a line less than 100 MHz wide with higher-order longitudinal modes 2 or more orders of magnitude lower in amplitude.2
