This research investigated the spectra of two different semiconductor lasers subjected to optical feedback. For the vertical
-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL),a wavelength selective element (Etalon) was used to feedback one of the transverse modes into the laser cavity. The experimental results showed that the multi-transverse modes could be suppressed to yield the fundamental mode output or a higher-order transverse mode output, in which the side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) where 14.8 dB and 6.4 dB respectively. For the external cavity AR-coated laser, we studied the feasibility of generating mode-locking pulses by the temporal modulation of orthogonal-polarization optical feedback (OPF). The RF spectrum analyzer was employed to analyze the interaction. The observation clearly presented the spectra of mode- locking-like pulses in the laser¡¦s output.
