Reduction of FM noise in impatt oscillators by optical illumination

Experiments are described in which laser illumination of the active device has reduced the FM noise output by up to 5 dB for a GaAs impatt oscillator and 2 dB for a Si impatt oscillator. A qualitative explanation of the observed results is given, and the effect of laser amplitude noise on the maximum noise reduction obtainable is shown.
