Abstract
We review the theory and recent experimental developments in microcavity semiconductor lasers and their implications. Particular attention is paid to microdisk lasers which support whispering gallery modes. InGaAsP/InP microdisks have recently been fabricated in our laboratories and have been pumped optically, resulting in the first achievement of CW room temperature lasing in these devices.
