Abstract :
We investigate the lasing characteristics of oval-resonator laser diodes made of AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells both experimentally and theoretically. The resonator shapes are various oval geometries, thereby probing chaotic and mixed classical dynamics. The far field pattern shows a pronounced fine structure that strongly depends on the cavity shape
