Determining laser linewidth parameter from Hopf bifurcation minimum in lasers subject to optical injection

A novel method of determining the laser linewidth enhancement factor, by measuring the minimum of the Hopf bifurcation in lasers subject to optical injection, is presented. The method is verified by measurements on two DFB lasers and by comparison, with stability maps previously reported in the lite...
