| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we aimed to develop sub-micrometer-scale semiconductor lasers to be integrated in the future ultra-dense photonic integrated circuits. First, we have proposed a novel capsule-shaped metallic-cavity structure to enhance the Q factor while reducing the footprint. By introducing sidewalls with optimal curvature, we have demonstrated both numerically and experimentally dramatic increase in cavity Q factor. We have then designed optimal metallic-cavity laser structure coupled to an InP waveguide and developed the fabrication process. Finally, to achieve electrically pumped lasing operation, we have constructed a novel numerical method that takes into account optical, electrical, and thermal properties self-consistently, and successfully derived the optimal structure.
