The phenomena occurring in semiconductor lasers due to weak external optical feedback are reviewed, including mode hopping and related mode-hopping noise, linewidth narrowing and broadening, and the transition to the coherence collapse regime. Guidelines are given for designing semiconductor lasers, both edge emitters and VCSEL's, with high endurance against external optical feedback.>
