Abstract
Fabry-Perot semiconductor lasers usually exhibit a multi-longitudinal mode behavior which is revealed in their power spectra. The relative power of the longitudinal modes varies with pump current, while the competition among them is influenced by several physical mechanisms such as spontaneous emission noise, spatial hole burning (SHB), spectral hole burning, and carrier diffusion. This competition gives rise to a variety of dynamical phenomena which most notably include mode-beating and mode-hopping.
