Abstract
In recent years Semiconductor Ring Lasers (SRLs) have attracted interest for their diverse potential application, e.g. their fast directional bistability recently opened up a new scenario for the development of all-optical memories and signal processing [1]. Besides, SRLs show unexpected dynamical behaviors, such as hysteresis in the lasing direction [2], and peculiar lasing mode selection rules [3]. In this contribution, we present an experimental and theoretical investigation concerning the modal structure and selection rules of a SRL with output waveguides.
