Abstract

We describe the method for measuring the microwave current modulation amplitude of a diode laser with a vertical cavity. The method is based on comparison of the laser frequency shift upon a change in the constant current component and the shift induced by microwave modulation amplitude. This shift is due to the laser cavity heating. The knowledge of the current modulation amplitude is important for analysis of the laser modulation spectra with account for the dynamics of interaction of the spectral components with one another and with inversion.
