(a) Schematic showing the device layer structure. (b) Spectra and near field patterns showing lasing in devices. Above threshold emission spectrum for 3-micron-long device with semiconductor core width of  nm (±20 nm), with pump current of 180 μA at 78 K. Inset: emission spectra, for 20 (green), 40 (blue), and 60 (red) μA, all at 78 K.
