1. A method for forming a laser, comprising:

  • etching a high-aspect ratio trench into an insulator layer on a substrate;

    depositing a three-layer semiconductor stack formed from III-V semiconductors on a substrate, wherein a middle layer has a lower bandgap than a top layer and a bottom layer;

    monolithically forming a mirror region and a waveguide region in contact with respective ends of the stack; and

    forming front and back contacts that contact the top and bottom of the stack, respectively.
