TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of laser amplitude noise on the maximum noise reduction obtainable is discussed, and a qualitative explanation of the observed results is given, and the effects of laser illumination of the active device are discussed.
Abstract: 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.
