摘要: In this letter we report the successful combination of a low‐loss buried waveguide providing two‐dimensional optical confinement with an active gain medium. We have thereby realized planar and monolithic composite cavity laser where consists distinct regions combined waveguide. The low threshold currents these strucures (<10 mA) confirm loss waveguiding nature regions. ability to make types structures has applications for window lasers, waveguides, integration electrical components.
