The performance of quantum dot microdisk lasers operating at room temperature without thermal stabilization was experimentally investigated, and the highest modulation bandwidth of microdisks of various diameters was calculated. It is shown that taking into account the self-heating effect of the microlaser at high bias currents, which manifests itself in a decrease in the maximum modulation frequency and in an increase in the current at which the maximum speed is reached, allows us to describe the experimental data well. Self-heating effect has the greatest impact on microlasers of small diameter (less than 20 µm).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
