Abstract

Semiconductor ring lasers have been fabricated in single quantum well material using electron-beam lithography and SiCl4 dry etching. CW operation has been achieved in 84 μm diameter rings at a threshold current of 24 mA. This low value makes the structure very suitable for monolithic integration in optoelectronic circuits.
