Abstract

In this Letter, we present long-wavelength microdisk lasers based on five stacks of self-assembled InAs/InAlGaAs quantum dots as the active medium, which were grown on InP (001) substrate by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. The 8.4-μm-diameter quantum dot microdisk laser is operated at room temperature under pulsed optically pumping conditions. Multi-wavelength lasing emissions at ∼1.6 μm were achieved with a low lasing threshold of 30 μW and a quality factor of ∼1336. The lasing behavior was verified by the “S” shape L–L curve, linewidth narrowing effect, and strong speckle patterns of the collected near field intensity profile. The demonstrated long-wavelength lasers with low threshold and ultracompact footprint can find potential applications in integrated gas detection and highly localized label-free biological and biochemical sensing.
