Whispering-gallery mode microdisk lasers
Abstract
A new microlaser design based on the high-reflectivity whispering-gallery modes around the edge of a thin semiconductor microdisk is described and initial experimental results are presented. Optical confinement within the thin disk plane results in a microresonator with potential for single-mode, ultralow threshold lasers. Initial experiments use selective etching techniques in the InP/InGaAsP system to achieve 3–10 μm diameter disks as thin as 500 Å suspended in air or SiO2 on an InP pedestal. Optically pumped InGaAs quantum wells provide sufficient gain when cooled with liquid nitrogen to obtain single-mode lasing at 1.3 and 1.5 μm wavelengths with threshold pump powers below 100 μW.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
