Photon-number squeezing in a free-running quantum-well laser operating at 980 nm

We present intensity noise investigations of a free-running InGaAs quantum-well laser diode operating at 980 nm at room temperature. The laser had a threshold current of 17 mA. Photon-number squeezing was achieved for drive currents of 48 mA when the laser was operating on two dominant longitudinal...

description We present intensity noise investigations of a free-running InGaAs quantum-well laser diode operating at 980 nm at room temperature. The laser had a threshold current of 17 mA. Photon-number squeezing was achieved for drive currents of 48 mA when the laser was operating on two dominant longitudinal modes. The degree of squeezing obtained was 9%, which was in reasonable agreement with the current-to-current efficiency of 11%. No squeezing was observed at 35 K.
