Abstract
The search for ever quieter light sources has fueled experimental interest in the noise properties of injection locked lasers [ 1,2,3], Ref. 1 showed that the injection of a small signal into a pump noise suppressed semi-conductor laser could suppress small longitudinal side modes whilst leaving the non-classical noise characteristics of the free running laser unaffected. In contrast [2] and [3] found that in Nd:YAG lasers the free running noise characteristics were suppressed and the output noise was an amplified version of the injected signal.
