Lasing band-edge identification for a surface-emitting photonic crystal laser

Coupled Mode Theory of Photonic Crystal Lasers

“…The most sophisticated and general (it describes one-, two-, and three-dimensional structures) semiclassical model of light generation in photonic structures is presented in (Florescu et al (2002)). Theoretical analysis of photonic crystal lasers based on two-dimensional plane wave expansion method (PWEM) (Imada et al (2002); Sakai et al (2005)) and finite difference time domain method (FDTD) (Imada et al (2002); Noda & Yokoyama (2005)) confirm experimental results. Nevertheless these methods suffer from important disadvantages, i.e.…”

Theoretical and experimental study of the Suzuki-phase photonic crystal lattice by angle-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy

“…An InGaAs p-i-n photodiode was used as a detector. The photoluminescence was collected at different angles with a resolution of ±1 degree and these spectra were used to determine the photonic band dispersion through conservation of the wavevector parallel to the sample surface [23][24][25][26]. Figure 5 shows the PL spectra collected at θ = 0 • for the Suzuki-phase structure and for the unpatterned material.…”

The Threshold Mode Structure Analysis of the Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Lasers

“…Following works of, e.g., Plihal and Maradudin [14] and Sakai et al [2,[16][17][18], four cases are distinguished: PC cavity with square and triangular lattices with, in each case, TE and TM modes. The discussed structures are schematically shown in Figure 1.…”

“…They have been attracting much attention because of their important characteristics, such as single mode operation in a large cavity area and a diffraction-limited circular-shape output beam [1,2]. The PC laser demonstrations were obtained under pulse excitation, weather optical or electrical, as well as continues wave regime [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
