英文原题3.2 W GaN‐Based Photonic‐Crystal Surface‐Emitting Laser

中文摘要摘要：光子晶体面发射激光器（PCSEL）凭借其单模运行和窄光束发散角的独特能力，已成为用于 LiDAR、自由空间通信和材料加工等高功率、高亮度应用的潜力光源。然而，将 PCSEL 拓展至蓝光波段仍具有挑战性，这主要是由于 GaN 基材料的低折射率和短波长会削弱光学反馈，并增加制造难度和光散射损耗，从而导致极高的激光阈值。在本工作中，我们展示了在 GaN 衬底上采用优化的外延结构和光子晶体设计制备的、工作波长为 430.5 nm 的免再生长瓦级 GaN 基 PCSEL。该器件实现了 4 kA/cm² 的阈值电流密度，并在室温下获得了 3.2 W 的峰值输出功率，据我们所知，这是目前报道的最高输出功率。本工作为通过简化制造工艺实现高功率可见光 PCSEL 提供了一条可行路径，并为未来的高亮度照明和显示应用展现出巨大潜力。

英文摘要ABSTRACT Photonic‐crystal surface‐emitting lasers (PCSELs) have emerged as promising light sources for high‐power, high‐brightness applications such as LiDAR, free‐space communication, and material processing, owing to their unique capabilities for single‐mode operation and narrow beam divergence. However, extending PCSELs into the blue wavelength regime remains challenging, primarily due to the low refractive index and short wavelength of GaN‐based materials, which weakens optical feedback and increases the fabrication difficulty and optical scattering loss, resulting in very high lasing thresholds. In this work, we demonstrate regrowth‐free, watt‐class GaN‐based PCSELs operating at 430.5 nm, fabricated on GaN substrates using an optimized epitaxial structure and photonic crystal design. The device achieved a threshold current density of 4 kA/cm 2, and a peak output power of 3.2 W at room temperature, which, to our knowledge, is the highest output power reported. This work provides a viable pathway toward high‐power visible PCSELs with simplified fabrication processes, offering significant potential for high‐brightness lighting and display applications in the future.

英文原题Carrier-Induced Mode Redistribution Enabling Scalable Single-Mode Lasing in Ultra-Large-Area Photonic-Crystal Surface-Emitting Lasers

中文摘要光子晶体面发射激光器（PCSEL）因其能够在超大发射面积上实现相干激光振荡，正作为面向多种应用的下一代高功率光源受到关注。为了使超大面积 PCSEL 在远高于激光阈值时保持稳定的单模激光发射，理解振荡模式如何通过载流子与光子之间的相互作用在时间和空间上演化至关重要。本文在考虑载流子—光子相互作用的情况下，对超大面积（3～10 mm）PCSEL 的激光特性进行了全面的数值分析，重点研究即使在高电流注入下也能在超大面积范围内实现单模振荡的物理机制。我们揭示，由于载流子诱导的折射率变化及其产生的弱模式间隙效应，大面积 PCSEL 内部最初集中于增益区中心的单峰光子分布会自发改变。当激光振荡发生在具有适当能带曲率的带边模式上时，随着注入电流增加，光子分布会变得越来越均匀，并趋近于注入电流的分布。这种模式重分布（或离域化）抑制了空间烧孔，并有利于即使在高电流注入下仍保持单模振荡。此外，通过调节器件内部的注入电流分布，我们可以灵活改变发射轮廓，例如使其呈类高斯分布。我们的研究结果加深了对超大面积单模 PCSEL 激光特性的理解，并为未来在实验上展示 kW 级单模振荡提供了重要指导。

英文摘要Photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) are attracting attention as next-generation high-power light sources for a variety of applications owing to their capability for coherent lasing oscillation over ultra-large emission areas. To maintain stable single-mode lasing in ultra-large-area PCSELs far above the lasing threshold, it is essential to understand how the oscillation modes evolve in time and space via the interaction between carriers and photons. In this paper, we perform a comprehensive numerical analysis of the lasing characteristics of ultra-large-area (3∼10-mm) PCSELs considering carrier-photon interactions, focusing specifically on the physics that allows single mode oscillation over an ultra-large area even under high current injection. We reveal that, owing to carrier-induced refractive index changes and the resultant weak mode-gap effect, the initial unimodal photon distributions concentrated at the center of the gain region inside large-area PCSELs are spontaneously altered. When lasing oscillation occurs at a band-edge mode with an appropriate band curvature, the photon distribution becomes increasingly uniform as the injection current increases, resembling the distribution of the injection current. Such mode redistribution (or delocalization) suppresses spatial hole burning and is advantageous for maintaining single-mode oscillation even at high current injection. In addition, by tailoring the injection current distribution inside the device, we can flexibly change the emission profile to, for example, Gaussian-like distributions. Our findings provide deeper insight into the lasing characteristics of ultra-large-area single-mode PCSELs, and offer an important guideline for the experimental demonstration of kW-class single mode oscillation in the future.

英文原题Simulation study of a low-threshold, high-efficiency 1.55 µm InP PCSEL enabled by a bottom metal-capped DBR, peripheral DBRs, and a shifted triple-hole photonic crystal

中文摘要1.55 µm 光子晶体面发射激光器（PCSEL）因具有眼安全性和低光纤损耗，对光通信和 LiDAR 应用极具吸引力。然而，其性能受到阈值增益与斜率效率之间权衡的限制，也受到传统分布式布拉格反射器（DBR）结构的反射率和相位控制能力的限制。在本工作中，据我们所知，我们对一种新型 InP 基 PCSEL 设计进行了理论和数值研究。具体而言，金属封盖 DBR 由三对 SiO₂/TiO₂ 层和一层 Au 构成，可在提供高反射率的同时大幅降低制造复杂度。此外，在光子晶体（PC）区域周围引入 DBR，以抑制面内损耗并增强激光模式的反馈。进一步地，移位三孔光子晶体能够灵活控制面内和垂直耦合强度，从而实现阈值增益与斜率效率之间的优化平衡。采用传输矩阵法和三维耦合波理论（3D-CWT）对器件性能进行评估。结果表明，优化后的结构具有 16 cm⁻¹ 的低激光振荡阈值增益及相应的 76 cm⁻¹ 阈值材料增益，同时具有 0.18 W/A 的高斜率效率，为工作于 1.55 µm 的高性能 InP 基 PCSEL 提供了一种有前景的理论设计策略。

英文摘要Photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) at 1.55 µm are highly attractive for optical communication and LiDAR applications owing to eye safety and low fiber loss. However, their performance is limited by the trade-off between threshold gain and slope efficiency, as well as by the reflectivity and phase control of conventional distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) structures. In this work, we present a theoretical and numerical investigation of a novel InP-based PCSEL design, to our knowledge. Specifically, the metal-capped DBR is composed of three pairs of SiO 2 /TiO 2 layers and an Au layer, providing high reflectivity while substantially reducing fabrication complexity. In addition, DBRs surrounding the photonic crystal (PC) region are introduced to suppress in-plane loss and enhance the feedback of the lasing mode. Furthermore, a shifted triple-hole photonic crystal enables flexible control of the in-plane and vertical coupling strengths, achieving an optimized balance between threshold gain and slope efficiency. The device performance is evaluated using the transfer-matrix method and three-dimensional coupled-wave theory (3D-CWT). As a result, the optimized structure exhibits a low threshold gain for lasing oscillation of 16cm −1 and a corresponding threshold material gain of 76cm −1, together with a high slope efficiency of 0.18 W/A, providing a promising theoretical design strategy for high-performance InP-based PCSELs operating at 1.55 µm.

英文原题Three-Dimensional Coupled-Wave Analysis for Photonic-Crystal Surface-Emitting Lasers With External Optical Feedback

中文摘要光子晶体面发射激光器（PCSEL）通过引入光子晶体谐振器实现大面积相干振荡，从而获得高输出功率和优异的光束质量。光子晶体设计的进展带来了更强的功能，包括光束偏转、高速调制和窄线宽运行。作为进一步拓展 PCSEL 功能的一种潜力方案，可以考虑由外部反射器引起的自注入光反馈；此前已有报道称，该方法可在传统半导体激光器中实现线宽压窄和调制带宽扩展。本文开发了一种能够分析具有外部光反馈的 PCSEL 的数值方法，并基于该框架对其激光特性进行了理论研究。首先，我们表明，激光模式是通过光子晶体内部的大面积横向谐振模式与外部反射器引入的纵向 Fabry–Pérot 模式之间的耦合形成的，同时保持具有窄发散角的单横模运行。我们还揭示，通过调节反馈强度和延迟时间可以实现单纵模运行，而通过控制反射相位还可以实现频率扫描运行。这些结果表明，外部光反馈可为实现 PCSEL 的先进功能提供一种有效途径。

英文摘要Photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) enable large-area coherent oscillation by incorporating a photonic crystal resonator, thereby realizing high output power and excel lent beam quality. Advances in photonic-crystal design have led to enhanced functionalities, including beam steering, high-speed modulation, and narrow-linewidth operation. As a promising approach to further extending the functionality of PCSELs, self-injection optical feedback induced by an external reflector, which has been previously reported in conventional semiconductor lasers to achieve linewidth narrowing and expansion of the modulation bandwidth, is considered. In this paper, we develop a numerical method that enables the analysis of PCSELs with external optical feedback, and we conduct a theoretical investigation on its lasing characteristics based on this framework. First, we show that the lasing modes are formed through the coupling between the large area transverse resonant modes inside the photonic crystal and the longitudinal Fabry–Pérot modes introduced by the external reflector, while maintaining single-transverse-mode operation with a narrow divergence angle. We also reveal that single-longitudinal mode operation can be achieved by adjusting the feedback strength and the delay time, where frequency sweep operation can be also realized by controlling the reflection phase. These results suggest that external optical feedback can provide an effective approach for realizing advanced functionality of PCSELs.

英文原题Size scaling law for radiation losses of modes in photonic crystal surface emitting devices

中文摘要光子晶体面发射激光器（PCSEL）因能够产生超高功率和低发散角的激光束而受到广泛关注。这是因为它们支持高功率单模激光发射，其模式体积比传统半导体激光器大数个数量级。PCSEL 的有限横向尺寸是限制其激光模式体积并进而限制其输出功率的主要因素。我们证明，总腔损耗 α = α⊥ + α∥ 与器件尺寸 L 之间的缩放关系为：表面辐射损耗按照 α⊥ ∼ O(L⁻²) 缩放，而边缘辐射损耗按照 α∥ ∼ O(L⁻³) 缩放。这两种缩放关系均可通过能带图中复频率 ω(k) 的二阶展开来解释。我们的结果为设计大面积类 PCSEL 器件时估算尺寸效应提供了指导。

英文摘要Photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) have garnered significant attention due to their ability to generate laser beams with ultra-high power and low divergence. This is because they support high-power single-mode lasing with volumes orders of magnitude larger than those of conventional semiconductor lasers. The finite lateral size in a PCSEL is a primary factor limiting its lasing mode volume and, consequently, its output power. We demonstrate that the scaling relation between the total cavity loss α = α ⊥ + α ∥ and the device size L is such that the surface radiation loss scales as α ⊥ ∼ O ( L −2 ), while the edge radiation loss α ∥ ∼ O ( L −3 ). Both scaling relations can be explained by the second-order expansions of the complex frequency ω ( k ) of the band diagram. Our results provide a guideline for estimating the size effect when designing large-area PCSEL-like devices.

We demonstrate photopumped lasing from a buried dielectric QPCSEL at room temperature with emission wavelength at 1.5 μm. QPCSELs replace the conventional periodic refractive index pattern with a quasi-periodic photonic crystal, which produces single mode emission. Our buried dielectric approach enables solid-state integration of the photonic crystal while preserving the complex patterned geometry during epitaxial semiconductor regrowth.

英文原题High-purity linearly polarized emission from a compact BIC laser

中文摘要连续谱中的束缚态（BIC）赋予光子晶体（PhC）激光器超高品质因子，从而使其能够实现低阈值。然而，BIC 具有动量空间矢量偏振涡旋，这对实现高纯度偏振发射构成了重大障碍。传统上，可通过多种对称性微扰来控制 PhC 激光器的偏振。然而，由于真实激光系统固有的有限尺寸效应，其发射的偏振纯度较低。因此，在不显著牺牲其他性能指标的情况下实现 PhC 激光器发射的高偏振纯度，一直是一项长期挑战。在此，我们开发了一种色散辅助偏振控制策略，用于对 PhC 激光器发射进行单片式偏振工程。作为概念验证，我们展示了一种紧凑型准 BIC 激光器的线偏振发射，其偏振消光比高达约 300:1，同时良好保持了单模运行和高光束质量。我们的工作为片上激光器的高效偏振调控开辟了道路。所获得的器件可为相干光通信、先进显示技术和多种精密测量应用提供小型化偏振光源。

英文摘要Bound states in the continuum (BICs) confer ultrahigh quality factors and, thus, enable low thresholds upon photonic crystal (PhC) lasers. However, BICs feature a momentum-space vectorial polarization vortex, posing a substantial obstacle in achieving high-purity polarized emission. Traditionally, polarization control of a PhC laser can be achieved through various symmetry perturbations. However, the emission suffers from low polarization purity due to the finite-size effect inherent in real laser systems. Achieving a high polarization purity in PhC laser emission without significantly sacrificing other performance metrics has thus been a persistent challenge. Here, we develop a dispersion-assisted polarization control strategy for monolithic polarization engineering of PhC laser emission. As a proof of concept, we have demonstrated a linearly-polarized emission from a compact quasi-BIC laser with a high polarization extinction ratio of ~300:1, while single-mode operation and high beam quality are well-maintained. Our work paves a way for efficient polarization tailoring of on-chip lasers. The resulting devices deliver a miniaturized polarization light source for applications across coherent optical communication, advanced display technology, and diverse precision measurements.

英文原题Regrowth-free blue GaN-based photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers with triangular air holes

中文摘要我们报道了采用免再生长方法成功实现的室温蓝光 GaN 光子晶体面发射激光二极管（PCSEL）。通过采用具有改进型三角形空气孔的方形晶格光子晶体结构，我们实现了稳健的二维单模激光发射。该器件的阈值电流密度为 5.2 kA/cm²，并发射高斯形光束，测得其光束发散角低至 1.15 mrad（0.066°）。此外，三角形空气孔的对称性破缺特性使偏振方向稳定地垂直于三角形的长边。本工作证明，采用具有简单孔洞几何结构的非再生长制造工艺可以实现高光束质量的蓝光 PCSEL，为高性能蓝光激光源铺平了道路。

英文摘要We report the successful realization of a room-temperature blue GaN photonic crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL) diode fabricated using a regrowth-free approach. By employing a square lattice photonic crystal structure with modified triangular air holes, we achieve robust two-dimensional single-mode lasing. The device operates with a threshold current density of 5.2 kA/cm2 and emits a Gaussian-shaped beam with exceptionally low beam divergence, measured at 1.15 mrad (0.066°). Furthermore, the symmetry-breaking nature of the triangular air holes enforces a stable linear polarization perpendicular to the long edge of the triangle. This work demonstrates that high-beam-quality blue PCSELs can be achieved using non-regrowth fabrication processes with simple hole geometry, paving the way for high-performance blue laser sources.
