Abstract

An external cavity laser with intracavity modulation operates in two distinct regimes: as a relatively narrow band FM laser, and a broad band coherence collapsed laser. Coherence collapse occurs when there is sufficient overlap between the normally suppressed sidemodes of the external cavity and modes spaced by the modulation frequency.
