Metal-Cavity Surface-Emitting Microlasers With Size Reduction: Theory and Experiment

摘要

A theoretical model for a metal-cavity surface-emitting microlaser is presented and the results are compared with experimental data. The model provides feasibility of size reduction below ${lambda}_{0}^{3}$. The design rules are based on the Fabry–Perot formulation. Experimental demonstration of size reduction is presented using submonolayer quantum-dot-based devices. The size-dependent characteristics are investigated. We show an excellent agreement between theoretical results and experiment data.
