ratio linking refractive index change to gain change in a semiconductor laser, which broadens its linewidth beyond the basic quantum limit.

In laser physics, linewidth enhancement factor refers to ratio linking refractive index change to gain change in a semiconductor laser, which broadens its linewidth beyond the basic quantum limit. This meaning comes from Henry (1982) in IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics.[1]
