Continuous-Wave Lasing of 1.3-mu m Quantum-Dot Photonic-Crystal Surface-Emitting Lasers

Abstract

Fabrication of electrically injected quantum-dot photonic-crystal (PC) surface-emitting lasers (SELs) is simplified by deposition of indium-tin-oxide over "PC slab-on-substrate" structure. Temperature-insensitive threshold current behavior is exhibited for negatively detuned PCSEL where continuous-wave lasing emission at 1308.4 nm is demonstrated for the first time.
