ABSTRACT

In a mode matched configuration, spontaneous emission in semiconductor laser amplifier sis enhanced by a factor which is larger that unity but which is significantly smaller than the K-factor calculated by Petermann. Using thin-slab model, we find that in typical situations, the factor is about K/2.
