Abstract:
The power and spectral characteristics of the radiation of a semiconductor microdisk laser with a diameter of 40 $\mu$m, monolithically integrated with an optical waveguide, have been studied. To reduce absorption in the waveguide, current pumping was used. In the light.current dependence, features associated with the onset of generation at a longer-wavelength resonance are observed. When this resonance falls within the region of weak waveguide absorption, an increase in output power is observed. Applying a forward bias to the waveguide makes it possible to increase the extracted power by more than 1.5 times.
