摘要
The linewidth enhancement factor in single quantum-well graded index separate confinement heterostructure semiconductor lasers is investigated theoretically and experimentally. For thin wells, a small linewidth enhancement factor is obtained which clamps with increasing carrier density, in contrast to the monotonous increase observed for thicker wells. Microscopic many-body calculations reproduce the experimental observations attributing the clamping to excitation dependent gain shifts and the influence of the population of off-resonant states on the refractive index.
