High Power, Very Low Noise, C.W. Operation of 1.32μ Quantum-Dot Fabry-Perot Laser Diodes

1.32 mum InAs quantum dot narrow ridge lasers have reached a record single spatial mode optical power of 130 mW/facet under CW operation. Furthermore we demonstrate a very low relative intensity noise of -159 dB/Hz plusmn2 dB/Hz in the 0.1-10 GHz range
