Abstract
Developments in semiconductor nanotechnology have allowed the experimental realization of a new generation of semiconductor lasers with cavity sizes on the scale of the optical wavelength or smaller. Such semiconductor nanolasers present new opportunities in information technology with extremely low energy consumption, e.g. for on-chip optical communications. As the characteristic dimensions of the laser shrink to the nanoscale, assumptions that hold well for macroscopic semiconductor lasers must be revisited. The paper presents recent progress on semiconductor nanolasers, specifically emphasizing three topics: photonic crystal nanolasers with ultra-low threshold, semiconductor lasers with deep subwavelength light confinement, and semiconductor Fano lasers.
期刊介绍:
Papers published in the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics fall within the broad field of science and technology of quantum electronics of a device, subsystem, or system-oriented nature. Each issue is devoted to a specific topic within this broad spectrum. Announcements of the topical areas planned for future issues, along with deadlines for receipt of manuscripts, are published in this Journal and in the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics. Generally, the scope of manuscripts appropriate to this Journal is the same as that for the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics. Manuscripts are published that report original theoretical and/or experimental research results that advance the scientific and technological base of quantum electronics devices, systems, or applications. The Journal is dedicated toward publishing research results that advance the state of the art or add to the understanding of the generation, amplification, modulation, detection, waveguiding, or propagation characteristics of coherent electromagnetic radiation having sub-millimeter and shorter wavelengths. In order to be suitable for publication in this Journal, the content of manuscripts concerned with subject-related research must have a potential impact on advancing the technological base of quantum electronic devices, systems, and/or applications. Potential authors of subject-related research have the responsibility of pointing out this potential impact. System-oriented manuscripts must be concerned with systems that perform a function previously unavailable or that outperform previously established systems that did not use quantum electronic components or concepts. Tutorial and review papers are by invitation only.
