  • Abstract
    A relation for the spectral width of the envelope of lasing emission of gain-guided lasers is derived which contains only parameters that can be easily measured, such as near and far field, gain width, and facet reflectivity. For GaAlAs V -groove lasers, one typically obtains for the spectral width \\Delta \\lambda , in relation to the astigmatism factor K , a \\Delta \\lambda /K \\approx 1 ... 2 Å at 5 mW optical power, while GaInAsP V -groove lasers at 1.3 μm exhibit a \\Delta \\lambda /K \\approx 3 ... 5 Å.
