Abstract :
Detuned gain and composite cavity frequency response are two structural sources of amplitude-phase coupling which both need to be considered in addition to the material Henry factor. The spontaneous emission rate dependence on the composite cavity bandwidth is also taken into account to calculate the linewidth and chirp reduction factors.
