  • Optical feedback in laser diodes can alter laser intensity and spectrum.
  • Self-mixing interferometry (SMI) is a sensing technique utilizing optical feedback.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the power spectrum of laser intensity in a laser diode with optical feedback for DLS.
  • To develop a theoretical framework relating DLS power spectrum to the laser intensity power spectrum.
  • To provide a concise description of SMI for Doppler shift and line-broadening measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical modeling of laser diode power spectrum with optical feedback.
