The carrier-induced optical frequency deviation undergoes an unusual phase reversal in external-cavity semiconductor lasers when the modulation frequency is equal to that of the external-cavity mode spacing. A model based on the coherent nature of the external optical feedback is used to explain this phenomenon.
