Abstract

We report a continuous wave laser output of a spiral-shaped InGaAs microcavity laser. When the boundary of the cavity is selectively pumped by current injection with a dc current, the laser generates a directional emission around the notch. We investigate the characteristics of the cw laser operation and observe whispering gallery type modes, whose Q factor is about 7000.
