18 Assuming n Re = n Fe = n e and n Reg = n Feg = n eg Phase condition: 2 arg C + ηg R e jδβ2πr 1 CG R e jδβ2πr 2 β Rm + δβ L = 2Mπ 2 Amplitude condition: r A r B Δω R = Rneg ω Rm 1 ω Rm ω Rm+1 ω ω Putting β = n e = β c Rm + δβ = β Rm + n eg δω in (1) c M : is the composite mode number ηg R C 2 + 4C ηg R sin 2 (δβπr) 1 CG R 2 + 4CG R sin 2 (δβπr) G L = 1 (3) δω ω = ω Rm + δω
19 Case I: ω Fm 1 ω Fm ω Fm +1 FP modes ω ω Rm = ω Fm ω Rm 1 ω Rm ω Rm+1 Ring modes Phase condition is satisfied by ω = ω Rm = ω FPm.

37 6. Conclusions Stitching error free CGCSEL was fabricated by EB lithography employing smooth circular scanning. Single-mode-like lasing was accomplished and the focusing function was confirmed. Idea of a novel all-active circular ring / FP composite cavity semiconductor laser was presented. Analysis of lasing threshold and selection of lasing modes were also presented. An RFP laser with common p-electrode was fabricated. Stable single longitudinal mode operation was accomplished. RFP laser with separate p-electrodes was also fabricated. Twowavelength lasing with discrete sets of separations were accomplished. For the first time, I was able to fabricate the stitching error free circular gratings for such a large size device. This unique fabrication technique would further accelerate the research on this type of lasers. I also accomplished the two-wavelength lasing with almost equal powers from a single RFP laser for the first time. This device could be a promising candidate for the source of THz wave generation by photomixing process.
