  • 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 K -factor calculated by Petermann. Using thin-slab model, we find that in typical situations, the factor is about K/2 .
