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）能够在超大发射面积上实现相干激光振荡，因此作为适用于多种应用的下一代高功率光源正受到广泛关注。为了使超大面积 PCSEL 在远高于激光阈值的条件下保持稳定的单模激光振荡，必须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。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 的激光振荡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仍能使超大面积区域保持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带隙效应，大面积 PCSEL 内部最初集中在增益区中心的单峰光子分布会自发发生改变。当激光振荡出现在具有适当能带曲率的带边模式时，随着注入电流增大，光子分布会变得日益均匀，并趋近于注入电流的分布。这种模式重分布（或离域化）抑制了空间烧孔效应，有利于即使在高电流注入下仍保持单模振荡。此外，通过调控器件内部的注入电流分布，我们可以灵活改变发射轮廓，例如使其呈高斯型分布。我们的研究结果深化了对超大面积单模 PCSEL 激光振荡特性的认识，并为未来通过实验实现 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A synergistic approach to optical modeling of PCSELs through rigorous methods and the coupled-wave theory

中文摘要目前已开发出多种用于光子晶体面发射激光器（PCSEL）光学建模的数值和半解析方法。然而，系统比较这些方法的预测能力并确定其各自适用范围的框架，在很大程度上仍未得到探索。在本研究中，我们提出了一种比较方法，在耦合波理论框架内分析四种具有代表性的方法——包括严格数值方法和基于有效折射率的方法——并对其进行部分混合。以单晶格和双晶格 PCSEL 为代表性模型，我们证明，该方法不仅揭示了严格方法与耦合波理论框架的预测结果之间的根本差异，还能够捕捉与激光工作相关的连续域束缚态的泄漏相和对称性破缺相。

英文摘要A wide range of numerical and semi-analytical approaches has been developed for optical modeling of photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs). However, a systematic framework for comparing their predictive capabilities and identifying their respective validity limits remains largely unexplored. In this study, we introduce a comparative methodology in which four representative methods—including rigorous numerical and effective-index-based approaches—are analyzed and partially hybridized within a coupled-wave-theory framework. Using single- and double-lattice PCSELs as representative models, we demonstrate that this approach not only reveals fundamental differences between predictions of rigorous methods and the coupled-wave-theory framework but also captures leaky and symmetry-broken phases of bound states in the continuum relevant for laser operation.

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包括光束偏转、高速调制和窄线宽工作在内的增强功能。作为进一步扩展 PCSEL 功能的一种有前景的方法，本文考虑了由外部反射器引起的自注入光反馈；此前已有研究表明，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振荡特性开展理论研究。首先，我们表明，激光振荡模式由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法布里–珀罗模式耦合形成，同时保持具有窄发散角的单横模工作。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工作，而通过控制反射相位还可以实现频率扫描工作。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.

中文摘要我们报道了一种准光子晶体面发射激光器（QPCSEL），其采用被高折射率外延半导体包围的亚微米低折射率埋置介质结构来形成准光子晶体层。我们实现了埋置介质 QPCSEL 在室温下的光泵浦激光振荡，发射波长为 1.5 μm。QPCSEL 以准周期光子晶体取代传统的周期性折射率图案，从而产生单模发射。我们的埋置介质方案能够实现光子晶体的固态集成，同时在半导体外延再生长过程中保持复杂的图案化几何结构。

英文摘要We report a quasi-photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser (QPCSEL) that employs sub-micron, low-index buried dielectric features surrounded by high-index epitaxial semiconductor to form the quasi-photonic-crystal layer. 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、低发散角的激光束而备受关注。这是因为它们能够支持高功率单模激光振荡，其模式体积比传统半导体激光器大若干个数量级。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 α⊥ ∼ O(L⁻²) 缩放，而边缘辐射损耗按 α∥ ∼ O(L⁻³) 缩放。这两种缩放关系均可由能带图中复频率 ω(k) 的二阶展开来解释。我们的研究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.

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

中文摘要连续域束缚态（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，这给实现高纯度偏振发射带来了重大障碍。传统上，可以通过各种对称性微扰来控制 PhC 激光器的偏振。然而，由于实际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，我们提出了一种色散辅助偏振控制策略，用于 PhC 激光器发射的单片式偏振调控。作为概念验证，我们利用紧凑型准 BIC 激光器实现了线偏振发射，其偏振消光比高达约 300:1，同时保持了单模工作和高光束质量。我们的工作为片上激光器的高效偏振调控开辟了道路。所得器件可提供微型化偏振光源，适用于相干光通信、先进显示技术和多种精密测量。

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Inverse Design of Photonic Crystal Lasers Through Automatic Differentiation Optimization

中文摘要（嵌入式）PhC 谐振器激光器的行为与其晶胞轮廓密不可分。因此，遗憾的是，设计过程中的绝大部分工作依赖于对介电常数分布进行审慎的人工选择。其不利之处在于，这会丢弃与目标函数（激光器的物理响应）有关的信息。为解决这一问题，我们采用基于梯度的方案，将计算设计任务分为两个步骤，涉及用于光子本征模式的二维本征值问题（建模）和计算图（梯度传播）：（i）通过仿真进行前向传播，以预测光子晶体面发射激光器（PCSEL）的行为（远场和模式品质因子）；（ii）执行反向传播步骤，计算用户定义的代价函数的梯度，以更新晶胞设计。该方法在远场和腔内场性能指标方面均优于当前用于大规模 PCSEL 的晶胞设计。

英文摘要The behavior of (embedded) PhC resonator lasers is inextricably linked to the unit cell profile. Hence, an overwhelming fraction of the design process unfortunately relies on the judicious manual choice of the permittivity profile. This is disadvantageous for the fact that this throws away information regarding the objective function (the physical response of the laser). We remedy this by employing gradient-based protocols that split the computational design task into two steps—between a 2D eigenvalue problem for the photonic eigenmodes (modeling) and the computational graph (gradient-propagation): (i) a forward passage through the simulation to predict the photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL) behavior (far-field and mode quality factors), and (ii) a backpropagation step where the gradient of a (user) defined cost function is computed to update the unit cell design. The performance of this method exceeds contemporary unit cell designs for large-scale PCSELs in both far-field and intracavity field performance metrics.

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制造的室温蓝光 GaN 光子晶体面发射激光器（PCSEL）二极管的成功实现。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，我们实现了稳定的二维单模激光振荡。该器件的阈值电流密度为 5.2 kA/cm²，并发射高斯形光束，其光束发散角极低，测得为 1.15 mrad（0.066°）。此外，三角形空气孔的对称性破缺特性可强制形成垂直于三角形长边的稳定线偏振。这项工作表明，采用具有简单孔洞几何结构的免再生长制造工艺即可实现高光束质量的蓝光 PCSEL，为高性能蓝光激光源的发展铺平了道路。

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.
