  • Abstract
    We show that the spontaneous emission inside an injection-locked semiconductor laser does not alter the lasing field. For injection at the free-running frequency, the linewidth is only governed by the injected-field phase noise and may no longer follow the Schawlow-Townes dependence on emitted optical power.
