  • Abstract
    We have developed explicit approximations for the Hnewidth enhancement factor in quantum-well lasers. These simple expressions represent a quick and easy means of calculating the linewidth enhancement factor under a variety of operating conditions, and help us to understand the physics influencing this important parameter.
