Abstract:
Spectral dependencies of the electroluminescence intensity of a microdisk laser with a diameter of 31 $\mu$m with active region based on InAs/InGaAs quantum dots, operating in the continuous-wave regime, are investigated in a wide range of injection currents. Simultaneous lasing through the ground and excited states of quantum dots under intense excitation is demonstrated in injection microdisk laser for the first time. At low pumping powers lasing occurs via ground states of quantum dots only.
