Summary: 
We newly propose the first lateral mode selective active multimode interferometer laser diode. The design principle is to arrange identical propagation path of different lateral mode. Thanks to multimode waveguide structure, 0th mode and 1st order mode has individual propagation path within one device. Individual lasing of fundamental mode as well as first mode was confirmed successfully.
