We demonstrate experimentally that flat and broadband chaotic signals can be easily generated by combining a multi-mode laser diode subject to optical feedback with a band-pass filter. Measurements are made of the RF spectra of multi-mode and single-mode outputs from an external cavity Fabry-Perot (FP) semiconductor laser before and after the filtering procedure. In this way it is found that in the chaos regime the low-frequency energy of the single-mode output is enhanced by about 25 dB comparing with that of the multi-mode output. Moreover, the associated 3-dB chaos bandwidth can reach around 6 GHz for the single mode case. Numerical demonstrations show mode competition is the physical origin of the low-frequency enhancement in the single-mode chaotic outputs.
