Abstract
A novel theory is developed for the laser-diode feedback interferometry in the flowing Brownian motion system irradiated by a focused Gaussian incident field. The back-emitted power from the laser cavity and the corresponding time autocorrelation function are derived with the aid of both the modified Lang–Kobayashi rate equations and dynamic light scattering theory. As a result, the time autocorrelation function of the back-emitted power from the laser diode includes a new character parameter dependent on the nature of laser diode and a new Gaussian term dependent on the transit time of the illuminated target through the Gaussian beam waist, which may also be applied to solid-state lasers.
