Abstract:
In this work, we demonstrate current-injected InGaAs quantum dot microdisk lasers operating at room temperature. These microdisk lasers are fabricated by using e-beam lithography, wet etching, and planarization techniques. In measurement at room temperature, the cavity diameter which we observed the lasing phenomenon is 8.5 µm. The threshold current is as low as 1.8 mA.
