  • Abstract
    A single-mode laser structure based on slots suitable for monolithic photonic integration is presented. The laser can be fabricated by photolithography without any regrowth steps. Stable single-mode performance with a sidemode suppression ratio up to 50 dB at twice threshold has been demonstrated for the fabricated lasers.
