Abstract:
The thermal resistance of AlGaAs/GaAs microlasers of the suspended-disk type with a diameter of 1.7–4 $\mu$m and InAs/InGaAs quantum dots in the active region is inversely proportional to the squared diameter of the microdisk. The proportionality factor is 3.2 $\times$ 10$^{-3}$ (K $\cdot$ cm$^2$)/W, and the thermal resistance is 120–20$^\circ$C/mW.
