MICROCAVITY SEMICONDUCTOR LASER

摘要

Laser comprising a first lasing microdisk (10), microcylinder or microannulus defining a microcavity having a circular cross-sectional periphery and a second waveguiding micromember (12) in a different plane and optically coupled by resonant photon tunnelling. The second waveguiding micromember includes a light output coupling (18) for providing light output from the laser without adversely affecting the Q value and low lasing threshold of the microcavity.
