Low-threshold photonic crystal laser

چکیده
We have fabricated photonic crystal nanocavity lasers, based on a high-quality factor design that incorporates fractional edge dislocations. Lasers with InGaAsP quantum well active material emitting at 1550 nm were optically pumped with 10 ns pulses, and lased at threshold pumping powers below 220 mW, the lowest reported for quantum-well based photonic crystal lasers, to our knowledge. Polarization characteristics and lithographic tuning properties were found to be in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1511538#

Design of the [SiO2/ZrO2] photonic crystal filter for application in 350-nm laser safety glasses
In this paper, a one-dimensional photonic crystal filter based on the [SiO2/ZrO2] bilayer have been designed for application in safety glasses for working in 350-nm wavelength. High power lasers with low wavelength e.g. 350-nm have very high power which can cause serious damage to the operator’s eyes. In this paper using the transfer matrix method and theoretical calculation in MATLAB software ...
متن کاملSensitivity Enhancement of Ring Laser Gyroscope Using Dielectric-Graphene Photonic Crystal
In a ring laser gyroscope, due to the rotation and the Sagnac effect, a phase difference between the two counter-propagating beams is generated. In this device, the higher phase difference between these two beams causes the better the interference pattern detection, and thus the sensitivity is increased. In this paper, the effect of inserting a dielectric-graphene photonic crystal inside a ring...

We demonstrate a new type of laser composed of an array of coupled photonic crystal nanocavities that enables high differential quantum efficiency and output power, together with a low threshold power comparable to those of single photonic crystal cavity lasers. In our experiment, the laser efficiency increases faster than the lasing threshold with an increase in the number of coupled cavities....

We have realized photonic crystal lasers that permit the introduction of analyte within the peak of the optical field of the lasing mode. We have explored the design compromises for developing such sensitive low-threshold spectroscopy sources, and demonstrate the operation of photonic crystal lasers in different ambient organic solutions. We show that nanocavity lasers can be used to perform sp...
متن کاملLow-threshold lasing action in photonic crystal slabs enabled by Fano resonances.
We present a theoretical analysis of lasing action in photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs). The semiclassical laser equations for such structures are simulated with three different theoretical techniques: exact finite-difference time-domain calculations, an steady-state ab-initio laser theory and a semi-analytical coupled-mode formalism. Our simulations show that, for an exemplary ...
