17. UNIPHASE and SPECTRAPHYSICS product information give values of 1% to 5% or more for intensity noise on a bandwidth of 10 MHz. Selection of a probe laser source must therefore be made with great care if a single diode is used and pointing stability of the laser may also introduce significant noise.
