ABSTRACT:
Laser comprising a first lasing microdisk, microcylinder or microannulus defining a microcavity having a circular cross-sectional periphery and a second waveguiding micromember spaced from the first lasing micromember in a different plane and optically coupled by resonant photon tunneling. The second waveguiding micromember includes a light output coupling for providing light output from the laser without adversely affecting the Q value and low lasing threshold of the microcavity.
