Comparison of electrically and optically pumped buried-heterostructure photonic crystal lasers

Energy-efficient and small-footprint light sources are required for realizing on-chip and chip-to-chip optical interconnects. Photonic crystal (PhC) based nanolasers are considered one of the most prominent candidates [1] , however, their properties are only partially explored. Here, we analyze the behavior of a heterogeneously integrated InP/Si PhC line-defect laser by comparing its Input-Output ...
