Notes:
We present the wave propagation characteristics of photonic quantum ring lasers with clear evidence of the evanescence-propagation crossover behavior. The data obtained from the fiber probe measurements of 15–36 μm disk size lasers show that the Rayleigh's whispering gallery modes always give rise to the propagation mode, with the crossover ranges of 55–80 μm. The three-dimensional but chiral and broken z-axis symmetry nature of the photonic quantum ring cavity appears to guarantee such a crossover to the propagation in general. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
