摘要：
We show that the various techniques commonly used to measure the linewidth enhancement factor can lead to different values when applied to quantum dot semiconductor lasers. Such behaviour is a direct consequence of the intrinsic capture/escape dynamics of quantum dot materials and of the free carrier plasma effects. This provides an explanation for the wide range of values experimentally measured and the linewidth re-broadening recently measured. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.
