Experimental Demonstration of Nanolaser with sub-$\mu$A Threshold Current

Optics 2023-08-03 v1

Abstract

We demonstrate a photonic crystal nanolaser exhibiting an ultra-low threshold of 730 nA at telecom wavelengths. The laser can be directly modulated at 3 GHz at an energy cost of 1 fJ/bit. This is the lowest threshold reported for any laser operating at room temperature and facilitates low-energy on-chip links.
