Abstract :
Microdisk lasers are suitable for spontaneous emission control due to a high Q lasing mode with an ultra-small volume. However, the clear evaluation of spontaneous factor C is difficult for pulsed and/or photo-pumped devices due to the necessity of a wide range fitting of light-current characteristic from far below threshold. Recently, we have achieved CW lasing in GaInAsP devices with the record low threshold of 40 μA. In this study, we fabricated 1.56 μm GaInAsP compressively-strained QW microdisk injection lasers and observed some clear evidence of large C factors in the lasing characteristics
