We report on the possibility to detect laser emission of microdisk laser having diameter of 24 μm with an active region based on InGaAs/GaAs quantum well-dots using a waveguide photodiode (100x4000 μm) with a similar active region. A photocurrent of ~ 10 μA was obtained under a continuous-wave laser operation, injection current of 20 mA and a distance between the facets of the microlaser and photodiode of about 100 μm. The photodiode’s sensitivity was estimated to be ~ 9 μA / 10 μW.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
