+ abstract = {A theory of the spectral width of a single-mode
+ semiconductor laser is presented and used to explain the recent
+ measurements of Fleming and Mooradian on AlGaAs lasers.
+ They found the linewidth to be inversely proportional
+ to power and to have a value of 114 MHz at 1 mW per
+ facet. This value is 30 times greater than can be
+ explained by existing theories. The enhanced linewidth
+ is attributed to the variation of the real refractive
+ indexn'with carrier density. Spontaneous emission
+ induces phase and intensity changes in the laser field.
+ The restoration of the laser to its steady-state
+ intensity results in changes in the imaginary part of
+ the refractive index\Delta n". These changes are
+ accompanied by changes in the real part of the
+ refractive index\Delta n', which cause additional phase
+ fluctuations and line broadening. The linewidth
+ enhancement is shown to be1 + \alpha^{2}, where\alpha =
+ \Delta n'/\Delta n". A value of\alpha \approx 5.4,
+ needed to explain the observed linewidth, is close to the
+ experimental values of a of 4.6 and 6.2.}
