Abstract
As in any other optical amplifier or laser system, Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) is known to play quite decisive a role in limiting the performance of Distributed Feedback (DFB) lasers. But spontaneous emission is not only responsible for noise : it is also the very driving source enabling the laser oscillation to take place.
