Summary :

The oscillating linewidth of the semiconductor injection lasers is broadened by the mode competition effect which tends to be induced by the optical feedback. The broadening phenomena are theoretically analyzed by taking into account both interactions among lasing modes and fluctuations caused by the spontaneous emission. Operating conditions to avoid these phenomena are also given. For example in case of BH type AlGaAs laser, the re-injection ratio of going into the laser cavity to the emitted light should be less than 10-7 to keep the stable single mode operation without the hopping phenomena.
