Abstract

Emission characteristics of a rounded half-moon shaped InGaAsP semiconductor microcavity laser are studied. When excited by pulse current, the laser generates whispering gallery type modes (WGTMs) with equidistant mode spacing in two directions with a narrow divergence angle of 4°. It is confirmed from the mode spacing that the lasing modes are WGTMs. A numerical analysis by the boundary element method shows that the emission direction of resonances well coincides with the experimental result.
