Abstract
An analytic expression for the shape function for homogeneous broadening of the emission spectra of semiconductor heterostructure lasers is obtained on the basis of simple expressions from the theory of the superradiance of two-level systems. Good agreement between the theory and experimental data is achieved for an InGaAs/GaAs quantum-well heterostructure laser. An estimate of the duration of the superradiance pulse is given.
