High frequency oscillation in photonic crystal nanolasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We observed modulated oscillations in lasers of up to 130 GHz by conducting frequency domain measurements on photonic crystal lasers with built-in saturable absorbers. This is an example of how the small volumes of photonic crystal lasers lead to increases in the internal modulation frequencies and enables dramatic improvements of the laser modulation rate. © 2004 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1713051#

Planar Photonic Crystal Nanocavities with Active Quantum Nanostructures
Extreme photon localization is applicable to constructing building blocks in photonic systems and quantum information systems. A finding fact that photon localization in small space modifies the radiation process was reported in 1944 by Purcell, and advances in fabrication technology enable such structures to be constructed at optical frequencies. Many demands of building compact photonic syste...
متن کاملLiving-cell imaging using a photonic crystal nanolaser array.
We proposed and demonstrated a label-free imaging method for living cells using a GaInAsP H0-type photonic crystal nanolaser array. We integrated 441 nanolasers in an arrayed configuration and achieved photopumped lasing with a 100% yield. Then, we attached HeLa cells on it, measured the wavelengths of all nanolasers and used them as pixel information. We acquired cell images, which partially c...
متن کاملA Systematic Approach to Photonic Crystal Based Metamaterial Design
Photonic crystal design procedure for negative refraction has so far been based on trial and error. In this paper, for the first time, a novel and systematic design procedure based on physical and mathematical properties of photonic crystals is proposed to design crystal equi-frequency contours (EFCs) to produce negative refraction. The EFC design is performed by the help of rectangular stair-c...
متن کاملPhotonic crystal disk lasers.
A novel type of nanolasers, which combines the advantages of photonic crystal lasers and microdisk lasers, has been demonstrated based on InAlGaAs/InGaAs quantum wells using pulsed optical pumping at room temperature. It incorporates the properties of small footprint, small mode volume, and submilliwatt threshold, and favors vertical emission. We believe that this type of laser acts as a promis...
متن کاملSupercontinuum Generation in a Highly Nonlinear Chalcogenide/ MgF2 Hybrid Photonic Crystal Fiber
In this paper, we report the numerical analysis of a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) for generating an efficient supercontinuum medium. For our computational studies, the core of the proposed structure is made up of As2Se3 and the cladding structure consists of an inner ring of holes made up As2Se3 and four outer rings of air holes in MgF2. The proposed structure provides excellent nonlinear coeff...
