Abstract
If a semiconductor laser experiences distant optical feedback, it may exhibit a tremendous noise,1 especially if the laser is entering the coherence collapse regime.2,3 Some optical systems, e.g., PCM optical communication systems at moderate bit rates may tolerate considerable noise, so that these systems may be sometimes operated even if the laser is in the coherence collapse.
