Abstract
We experimentally and numerically show that single-wavelength emission can be stably observed for a fully chaotic microcavity laser with a stadium shape under continuous wave condition. The emission pattern is asymmetric with respect to the symmetry axes of the laser cavity, and it cannot be explained by a single cavity mode. On the basis of numerical analysis, we interpret such a lasing as the result of frequency-locking interaction among several low-loss cavity modes. Moreover, we experimentally investigate the optical spectral properties of the laser under pulsed-pumping condition, and discuss the pulse-width dependence on the number of lasing modes.
