Abstract
We report the experimental demonstration of an optically pumped rod-type photonic-crystal band-edge laser. The structure consists of a 20 × 20 square lattice array of InGaAsP iron-nail-shaped rods. A single-mode lasing action is observed with a low threshold of ∼90 μW and a peak wavelength of 1451.5 nm at room temperature. Measurements of the polarization-resolved mode images and lasing wavelengths agree well with numerical simulations, which confirm that the observed lasing mode originates from the first Γ-point transverse-electric-like band-edge mode. We believe that this low-threshold band-edge laser will be useful for the practical implementation of nanolasers.
