Abstract
A technique to experimentally determine the amplitude-phase coupling factor (α-factor) in semiconductor laser diodes is proposed. The factor was obtained for InGaAs/AlGaAs/GaAs single-quantum-well lasers with injected-carrier concentrations from 1.5×1018 to 6×1018 cm-3. It is shown that the α-factor for such structures at the maximum of mode gain lies in a range of 2-9, and its value for one and the same structure may differ severalfold, depending on the operating point of a laser.
