Using the rate equations for the density of photons and charge carriers, we have studied the amplitude low-frequency noise of a fibre Bragg grating semiconductor laser. The calculations rely on two versions of the rate equation for the carriers, characterised by the presence of the optical confinement coefficient for the term, which takes into account the rate of stimulated recombination. It is shown that the relative noise intensity, which is calculated by using the rate equation for the carriers without optical confinement, agrees better with the experimental results. The calculation of the amplitude – frequency characteristics (AFCs) has shown that it is impossible to give preference to any one of these systems, since the AFCs for the two versions of the rate equations for the carriers coincide.
