In this study, dynamic stability analysis of semiconductor laser diodes with external optical feedback has been realized. In the analysis the frequency response of the transfer function of laser diode H jw( ), the transfer m function of laser diode with external optical feedback TF jw( ), and optical feedback transfer function m K jw( ) obtained from small signal equations has been m accomplished using Nyquist stability analysis in complex domain. The effect of optical feedback on the stability of the system has been introduced and to bring the laser diode to stable condition the working critical boundary range of dampig frequency and reflection power constant (R) has been determined. In the study the reflection power has been taken as ( ).
