Popis: Optical gain and the linewidth enhancement factor (or parameter) are calculated for bulk GaN. The results obtained using an interacting carrier model are compared with the ones derived from a free carrier theory. The Coulomb interaction leads to an enhancement of the gain and to a decrease of the parameter in the gain region. For the model including Coulomb interaction, the parameter for GaN at peak gain is in the range 1.7-1.9 at 300 K for carrier densities between 1.0 and 1.4 ? 1019 cm-3, which implies weak anti-guiding in this material. A discussion of the material parameters is included.
