摘要：
The linewidth enhancement factor (alpha(H)) is an important parameter for semiconductor lasers. In this paper, we investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the key parameters that affect alpha(H) of InAs/GaAs quantum dot lasers. Both dot uniformity and doping density are found to be critical in achieving small alpha(H) in quantum dot lasers. The prospects for quantum dot lasers in isolator-free and narrow linewidth applications are also discussed.
