Abstract
A new method is presented for determining the semiconductor-laser linewidth-broadening factor ¿. Measurements on 1.5 ¿m devices suggest that ¿ decreases with decreasing laser length. 300 ¿m-long devices emitting at 1.3 and 1.5 ¿m were found to have similar values of ¿ (6.6 cf. 6 4), but at 0.85 ¿m significantly lower results were measured (2.8)
