The spectral linewidth of 1.5 μm external cavity semiconductor lasers is investigated. For nonzero intermediate facet reflectivity, detuning from exact resonance is found to reduce linewidths substantially for strong, frequency-selective feedback. A 10 cm cavity gives linewidths below 1 kHz, while coherent systems requirements will be met by cavities under 2.5 cm.
