Tóm tắt

We report the first successful incorporation of shot noise-suppressed laser diodes in a closed-loop photon transistor amplifier configuration. We have measured and modelled the current gain, bandwidth and noise level of transverse junction stripe and quantum well laser diodes in open loop (optocoupler) and closed loop (common-emitter) photon transistor configurations. At liquid nitrogen temperatures we have directly measured 4.5 dB suppression of photonic noise below the full shot noise level.
