摘要
Reduction of the linewidth enhancement factor alpha is studied in InP-based strained multiple-quantum-well (MQW) lasers. Theoretical analysis shows that the alpha-parameter is greatly reduced in modulation-doped strained MQW lasers and may be zero while keeping positive gain. The experimental evaluation exhibits a very small alpha-parameter of around 1 in InGaAsP/InP modulation-doped strained MQW lasers. As a result of the small alpha-parameter, the linewidth-power product is effectively reduced in 1.5-mum DFB lasers with the modulation-doped strained MQW structure. The narrow spectral linewidth around 100 kHz were also obtained reproducibly in 1.5-mum modulation-doped strained MQW DFB lasers.
