Abstract

We report the first room temperature CW operation of two dimensional single-mode edge-emitting photonic crystal Bragg lasers. Single-mode lasing with single-lobed, diffraction limited far-fields is obtained for 100µm wide and 550µm long on-chip devices. We also demonstrate the tuning of the lasing wavelength by changing the transverse lattice constant of the photonic crystal. This enables a fine wavelength tuning sensitivity (change of the lasing wavelength/change of the lattice constant) of 0.072. This dependence proves that the lasing mode is selected by the photonic crystal lattice.

Fig. 5. Lasing spectra at ~1.1× threshold. These four lasers have the same longitudinal lattice constant b=490nm but different transverse lattice contants a=0.96 µm, 1.0 µm, 1.04 µm, and 1.08 µm. The measured laser wavelengths are 1546.9nm, 1550.3nm, 1552.8nm and 1555.6nm. A small tuning sensitivity of 0.072 is obtained.
