  • Abstract
    CW room-temperature lasing in Y-junction semiconductor ring lasers with radii as small as 50 mu m is reported. The dependence of the threshold current density on device dimensions is examined for radii in the range 50-200 mu m and for waveguide widths of 2-8 mu m. From these quantum-well devices, approximately 1 mW of CW single-frequency Te-polarised lasing output is obtained.
