Emission properties of electrically pumped triangular shaped microlasers

Opt Express. 2010 Aug 2;18(16):16437-42. doi: 10.1364/OE.18.016437.

Abstract

We study the emission properties of electrically pumped triangular-shaped microlasers with rounded corners. We find no signs of directional emission for the relatively large cavities (dimension approximately 100 microm) used in our experiments, in full agreement with ray simulation results. The broad emission characteristics that we observe can be fine-tuned by adjusting the resonator geometry as is verified through simulations which might prove useful for applications in optical devices.
