Subwavelength metal-optic semiconductor nanopatch lasers.
We report on near infrared semiconductor nanopatch lasers with subwavelength-scale physical dimensions (0.019 cubic wavelengths) and effective mode volumes (0.0017 cubic wavelengths). We observe lasing in the two most fundamental optical modes which resemble oscillating electrical and magnetic dipoles. The ultra-small laser volume is achieved with the presence of nanoscale metal patches which s...
متن کاملTemperature Dependences of Metal-Clad Subwavelength Semiconductor Lasers (MCSELs): Geometric Invariance and the Spontaneous Emission Factor
We perform two analyses on temperature effects in Metal-Clad Subwavelength Semiconductor Lasers (MCSELs). Firstly, we analyze the temperature dependence of the threshold gain in the infinite waveguide approximation. We show that the dielectric layer of the semiconductor-dielectric-metal composite waveguide (CWG) becomes increasingly important as temperature increases. However, we further show t...
متن کاملOptically pumped subwavelength-scale metallodielectric nanopatch resonators
We discuss subwavelength-scale semiconductor metal-optic resonators placed on the metal substrate with various top metal plate sizes. Albeit with large optical losses, addition of metal layers converts a leaky semiconductor nano-block into a highly-confined optical cavity. Optically pumped lasing action is observed with the extended top metal layer that can significantly suppress the radiation ...
متن کاملSubwavelength semiconductor lasers for dense chip-scale integration
Metal-clad subwavelength lasers have recently become excellent candidates for light sources in densely packed chip-scale photonic circuits. In this review, we summarize recent research efforts in the theory, design, fabrication, and characterization of such lasers. We detail advancements of both the metallodielectric and the coaxial type lasers: for the metallo-dielectric type, we discuss opera...
متن کاملLasing in subwavelength semiconductor nanopatches
Subwavelength semiconductor nanopatch lasers were analyzed, fabricated and characterized. Lasing was achieved in cylindrical and rectangular metallodielectric nanopatch geometries. The two smallest moderate quality factor modes of cylindrical cavities, the ‘electric-’ and ‘magnetic-’ dipole-like modes, successfully lased with physical volumes as small as 0.75 (λ0/n). Polarization control in nan...
