Abstract
The spectral linewidth of a GaAlAs double heterostructure laser placed in a high magnetic field is measured at 190 K. It is found that the power-dependent spectral linewidth is reduced by a factor of 0.6 in a magnetic field of 19 T. This reduction is believed to result mainly from the reduction of the linewidth enhancement factor alpha due to a quasi-one-dimensional electronic system formed by the high magnetic field (i.e., by quantum wire effects).
