Abstract
We have investigated the properties of the novel rectangular ring lasers containing active and passive regions in a InP material system. The rectangular ring laser consists of four low loss total internal reflection mirrors and a directional coupler made out of passive three waveguide. Two different lasers haying active lengths of 250 and $350{\mu}m$ and total cavity lengths of 580 and $780{\mu}m$ are fabricated, respectively. For both devices lasing thresholds of 38 mA is obtained at room temperature and under continuous wave operation. Lasing is predominantly single mode with the side mode suppression ratio better than 20 dB.
