Abstract

Whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) lasers (emission wavelength λ = 2.1–2.4 μm) with coupled disk cavities connected by a bridge are developed on the basis of a GaInAsSb/GaAlAsSb quantum-well nano-heterostructure and their emission spectra and optical far-field patterns are studied. Almost single-mode lasing in one spatial mode is observed in a wide range of supply currents. The emission wavelength grows with increasing current due to heating of the laser, and this phenomenon can be used in diode-laser spectroscopy. An assumption is made that the flux of generated emission can pass in lasers of this kind from one cavity to the other and back along the cavity-connecting bridge. It is found that strong narrowing of the laser emission pattern occurs with increasing current near the plane separating the coupled cavities.
