  • In this paper, we report the characteristics of the continuous wave laser output of the $lima{\varsigma}on$-shaped InGaAsP microcavity laser pumped by current injection. In order to find the directions of emission far-field patterns are measureed by rotating an optical fiber around the microcavity. We observe high directionality of the $lima{\varsigma}on$-shaped microcavity laser. For the analysis of lasing properties we also investigate its polarization and spectrum using the Glan-Thompson polarizer and spectrum analyzer.

  • Bow-tie modes were proposed in a grooved rectangular resonator and their lasing characteristics were investigated in semiconductor microcavities. The observed spacing between two adjacent lasing peaks from the grooved cavity was reduced compared to that of 4-bounce whispering gallery modes (WGMs) from the same-sized simple rectangular cavity due to increased round-trip path length of the bow-tie modes. The lasing spectra of bow-tie modes obtained from two adjacent corners showed highly correlated patterns while those of 4-bounce WGMs did not.

  • Spectral behaviors of lasing from semiconductor square ring microcavities with structures for unidirectional laser oscillation were investigated. When a tapered structure was introduced, the lasing envelope shifted to a shorter wavelength region. Statistical estimate of the additional loss caused by the tapered structure was carried out by analyzing spectral data from many sets of cavities with various sizes. When a saw-edged structure was introduced, the unidirectional lasing functioned well but no apparent spectral shift was observed due to negligible additional loss.

  • Coupled guided modes, proposed in various modified hollow hexagonal cavities each attached internally to a hexagon, were demonstrated by investigating the laser oscillations in semiconductor cavities. The mode spacing between two adjacent lasing peaks decreased as the size of the internal hexagon increased, due to the increased round-trip length of the coupled guided modes. The linear dependency of the inverse mode spacing to the calculated round-trip length strongly confirmed the lasing of the coupled guided modes. The proposed modes in common-sized external cavities showed resonance structure that could be adjusted widely by controlling the size of the internal hexagon.

  • We report the spectral characteristics of Multimode Interferometer (MMI)-coupled semicondoctor square ring resonators. The epitaxial layers of the proposed semiconductor ring resonator consists of $1.55{\mu}m$ GaInAsP-InP multiple quantum wells. The lasing characteristics were observed by varying the structure parameters of the MMI-coupled square ring resonators. It is concluded that the MMI-coupled scheme selects a single spectral lasing mode in the double square ring cavities.
