Abstract
We fabricate both microdisc and microring InGaAsP-InGaAs quantum well semiconductor lasers using an etching-and-bonding technique. Their emi ssion properties are studied by optical pumping at 77 K. Single mode l asing is achieved for discs with a diameter of 5 mu m. Multimode emiss ion is observed for rings with larger diameters. Both fundamental and higher order lasing modes are observed and are found to exhibit intere sting emission characteristics.
