  • Abstract
    The first experimental observation of spectral linewidth rebroadening when an external cavity semiconductor laser is detuned well away from the laser gain peak on the shorter wavelength side has been made. This confirms a recent theoretical prediction of the variation of the effective linewidth enhancement factor with shortwave detuning and has significant implications for the design of narrow linewidth optical sources.
