Optical interconnects using top-surface-emitting microlasers and planar optics.
Optical interconnections made using two-dimensional arrays of top-surface-emitting microlasers and integrated free-space optics are discussed for use in chip-to-chip communications. A demonstration setup with a 2 x 2 array of lasers is presented. System parameters, such as light efficiency, the number of data channels, thermal effects, power requirements, and the issue of hybrid integration of ...
متن کاملQuantum cascade surface-emitting photonic crystal laser.
We combine photonic and electronic band structure engineering to create a surface-emitting quantum cascade microcavity laser. A high-index contrast two-dimensional photonic crystal is used to form a micro-resonator that simultaneously provides feedback for laser action and diffracts light vertically from the surface of the semiconductor surface. A top metallic contact allows electrical current ...
متن کاملFabrication technologies for quantum cascade photonic-crystal microlasers
In this paper we describe the technological and fabrication methods necessary to incorporate both photonic and electronic-band engineering in order to create novel surface-emitting quantum cascade microcavity laser sources. This technology offers the promise of several innovative applications such as the miniaturization of QC lasers, and multi-wavelength two-dimensional laser arrays for spectro...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Confined Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers
The two-dimensional photonic crystal (2-D PhC) structure has been investigated as a method for lateral mode control of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The 2-D PhC structures were designed using an equivalent index model developed for photonic crystal fibers combined with a plane wave expansion method. The etching depth dependence of the PhC structure was incorporated for the f...
متن کاملGaN photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser at blue-violet wavelengths.
Shorter-wavelength surface-emitting laser sources are important for a variety of fields, including photonics, information processing, and biology. We report on the creation of a current-driven blue-violet photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser. We have developed a fabrication method, named "air holes retained over growth," in order to construct a two-dimensional gallium nitride (GaN)/air photo...
