摘要

Abstract

For long distance optical interconnects

1.3-μm surface-emitting lasers are key devices. However

the low output power of several milliwatts limits their application. In this study

by introducing a two-dimensional photonic-crystal and using InAs quantum dots as active materials

a continuous-wave

13.3-mW output power

1.3-μm wavelength

room-temperature surface-emitting laser is achieved. In addition

such a device can be operated at high temperatures of up to 90 ℃. The enhanced output power results from the flat band structure of the photonic crystal and an extra feedback mechanism. Surface emission is realized by photonic crystal diffraction and thus the distributed Bragg reflector is eliminated. The proposed device provides a means to overcome the limitations of low-power 1.3-μm surface-emitting lasers and increase the number of applications thereof.
