چکیده
We report what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of an edge-emitting photonic crystal nanocavity laser that is integrated with a photonic crystal waveguide. This demonstration is achieved with a double-heterostructure photonic crystal nanocavity incorporating an InAs quantum dot active region.

Lasing characteristics of InAs quantum dot microcavity lasers as a function of temperature and wavelength.
A Strong temperature dependence of microdisk lasers and photonic crystal nanocavity lasers with InAs quantum dot active regions is reported. These lasers operate at 1.3 microm at room temperature under optical pumping conditions. T(0, microdisk) = 31 K. T(0, photonic crystal nanocavity) = 14 K. The lasing threshold dependence on the lasing wavelength is also reported. We observe a minimum absor...
متن کاملLow-threshold photonic crystal laser
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. Polariza...
متن کاملHigh-peak-power efficient edge-emitting photonic crystal nanocavity lasers.
Record-high edge-emitted peak power was collected from L3 and finite-waveguide two-dimensional photonic crystal nanocavity quantum well membrane lasers at room temperature under single-mode operations. Peak power levels of 230 microW and 540 microW were collected from L3 and finite-waveguide edge-emitters, and their quantum differential efficiencies are 11% and 27%, respectively, limited by the...
متن کاملEfficient coupling between a photonic crystal nanocavity and a waveguide with directional end-facet emission
Monolithic integration of photonic crystal lasers and waveguides is proposed using quantum well intermixing. Coupling between a double-heterostructure nanocavity and a regular single-line-defect waveguide is optimized to have a high coupling efficiency (93%) and a high quality factor (6.8× 103) without fine-tuning of the lattice. The design is completed with a waveguide exit of robust direction...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of an Electrically- Activated Photonic Crystal Nanocavity Laser
In the future, optical networks may see an expanded role not only in telecommunications, but also in computers and other common electronic devices. These optical networks will require small, on-chip light sources. By using the photonic crystal's ability to strongly confine light, photonic crystal lasers can be built very small and very efficient, making them ideal for photonic integrated circui...
