Materials exhibiting multidimensional structure with characteristic lengths ranging from the
nanometer to the micrometer scale have extraordinary potential for emerging optical …

Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence
of'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical …

Recent advances in a single-layer 1-D high-index-contrast subwavelength grating structure
are reviewed. Its incorporation into a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) structure …

In this paper we report on the evidence of polarized and spatially localized emission of a
Tamm laser. The polarized emission results from an anisotropic three-dimensional …

The reduced divergence angle of the photonic crystal vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser
(PC-VCSEL) was investigated in both theory and experiment. The photonic crystal …

The single fundamental mode output power of photonic crystal vertical cavity lasers is
improved by varying sizes of oxide apertures and defect lasing apertures. A maximum output …

Photonic crystals, artificial, wavelength-scale multidimensional periodic structures, have
given birth to a number of realizations in semiconductors. Photonic integrated circuits …

We present a single mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) utilizing a single-
layer, high-contrast subwavelength grating (HCG) based top mirror, which provides both the …

We report the accuracy of the photonic crystal model in describing the characteristics of
vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers with lateral optical confinement consisting of a periodic …

The single mode square lattice photonic-crystal vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (PC-
VCSELs) are proposed and demonstrated. Square-lattice photonic-crystal patterns of …
