Suppressing noise-induced intensity pulsations in semiconductor lasers by means of time-delayed feedback

We show by analytical and numerical results that coupling an external Fabry-Perot resonator to a semiconductor laser can efficiently suppress noise-induced intensity pulsations (relaxation oscillations). This constitutes a realization of time-delayed feedback control.
