Abstract :
Short cavity lasers based on deeply etched Bragg-mirrors were fabricated on GaInAs/AlGaAs lasers structures with self-organised GaInAs quantum-dots as active layers. CW operation at room temperature was obtained for lasers with cavity lengths down to 12 μm. The microlasers exhibit good modulation properties and can be operated at high temperatures.
