Abstract
A classical optical corpuscular theory of semiconductor laser noise, using partition noise as a description of the noise forces associated with laser facet and internal losses, is presented. Complete suppression of the external photon noise is obtained under idealized conditions. A suitably defined relative intensity noise does not depend on optical attenuation.
