Abstract

Pump-to-Stokes relative intensity noise (RIN) transfer in the single-order silicon lasers is numerically investigated. Similar to Raman fiber lasers, RIN transfer makes a great contribution to the output RIN of silicon Raman lasers. Influences of nonlinear losses from two-photon absorption (TPA) and TPA-induced free-carrier absorption (FCA) on the performances of single-order silicon Raman lasers are discussed.

Keywords
