Abstract
Introducing optical feedback into semiconductor laser diodes can induce detrimental or advantageous effects, dependent on the level of the feedback. Advantageous effects, such as reduced laser linewidth, reduced operating threshold, and increased side mode suppression, occur for very low or strong feedback (regimes I, III, and V).
