Statistics of the Optical Phase of a Gain-Switched Semiconductor Laser for Fast Quantum Randomness Generation

The statistics of the optical phase of the light emitted by a semiconductor laser diode when subject to periodic modulation of the applied bias current are theoretically analyzed. Numerical simulations of the stochastic rate equations describing the previous system are performed to describe the temp...
