Abstract:
Microring cavities (diameter $D$ = 2.7–7 $\mu$m) with an active region based on InAs/InGaAs quantum dots are fabricated and their characteristics are studied by the microphotoluminescence method and near-field optical microscopy. A value of 22 000 is obtained for the Q factor of a microring cavity with the diameter $D$ = 6 $\mu$m. Lasing up to room temperature is obtained in an optically pumped ring microlaser with a diameter of $D$ = 2.7 $\mu$m.
