Fig. 5. Characteristic lasing spectra of the CSHM laser.
a Lasing spectra at 20, 24, and 26 mA to show the spectral broadening and mode hopping from a group HA to HB; inset: the microscopic image of a CSHM laser. b Lasing spectra with main lasing modes in HB. Period-one and Period-two states can be observed clearly at 38 and 44 mA, respectively; inset: lasing spectra versus current, including two groups of modes HA and HB in the whole scale
