Abstract
We investigate mode characteristics for octagonal resonator microlasers directly connecting an output waveguide. The threshold current of 8 mA at 286 K and single-transverse-mode operation are realized for an octagonal resonator microlaser with a side length of 10.8 μm and a 2-μm-wide vertex output waveguide. The laser spectra of multiple longitudinal modes with mode wavelength intervals of 7-8 nm are observed accompanied with three weak, higher order transverse modes. Furthermore, blueshift of mode wavelength versus the injection current around the threshold current and the far-field patterns are measured and discussed. In addition, the mode characteristics of the octagonal microresonators are simulated by the two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain technique. Two sets of high- <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Q</i> longitudinal modes are observed experimentally and numerically, for the octagonal resonators with the output waveguide connected to the vertex and the midpoint of one side of the resonators, respectively.
