Abstract
Frequency modulation (FM) of diode lasers is the basic principle behind many signal processing schemes used for fibre optic sensors based on interferometry, and is most conveniently implemented by injection current modulation. Injection current induced frequency modulation also results in unwanted intensity modulation; the objective of optothermal modulation is to achieve optical frequency modulation without intensity modulation by heating the laser chip with an external pump laser.
