Definitions
- the present invention relates to a photonic crystal device, and more particularly to a semiconductor laser and a semiconductor optical switch using a semiconductor microcavity.
- the microcavity laser is a micron-order laser aimed at integration with a large-scale optical integrated circuit or LSI used for such applications.
- FIG. 18A shows an enlarged view of the H 0 nanolaser shown in FIG. 1 (b) with an electron microscope.
- FIG. 18B shows the mode intensity characteristics and laser spectrum on the laser threshold shown in FIG. 2 (c).
- FIG. 18C shows the relationship between the normalized excitation power and intensity shown in FIG. According to this, it has been confirmed that laser oscillation at room temperature continuous operation is performed using a two-dimensional slab type photonic crystal which is one of the photonic crystal resonators.
- the threshold value can be clearly observed, only the operation immediately above the threshold value has been confirmed. This is due to the following reason.
- the volume of the active layer is more than two orders of magnitude smaller than that of ordinary lasers. Therefore, in order to obtain room temperature continuous oscillation, it is necessary to increase the confinement of the resonator.
- the slab type photonic crystal uses a large refractive index difference between the semiconductor and air. As a result, high light confinement can be realized and continuous operation at room temperature is obtained.
- heat generated in the active layer cannot be efficiently radiated because air has a very low thermal conductivity. For this reason, when the excitation intensity is increased, the oscillation stops due to the temperature rise of the active layer, and a large light intensity cannot be obtained.
- a photonic crystal resonator can also be used as an optical switch by utilizing a change in refractive index caused when carriers are excited in the photonic crystal.
- carriers are generated in a resonator configured in a photonic crystal, and the change in transmittance accompanying the refractive index modulation of the resonator is used as an optical switch.
