Abstract :
In a mode matched configuration, spontaneous emission in semiconductor laser amplifiers is enhanced by a factor which is larger than unity but which is significantly smaller than the 
-factor calculated by Petermann. Using thin-slab model, we find that in typical situations, the factor is about
