Polarized topological vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), as stable and efficient on-chip light sources, play an important role in the next generation of optical storage and optical communications. However, most current…
Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) have made indispensable contributions to the development of modern optoelectronic technologies. However, arbitrary beam shaping of VCSELs within a compact system still remains inaccessible…
We formulate an analytical model for vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with injection (pump) of spin-polarized electrons. Our results for two different modes of carrier recombination allow for a systematic analysis of the…
We demonstrate the first microchip semiconductor membrane external-cavity surface-emitting laser. This compact type of laser consists solely of a semiconductor gain region present as a micron-thin membrane, sandwiched between two…
Efficient, low threshold, and compact semiconductor laser sources are being investigated for many applications in high-speed communications, information processing, and optical interconnects. The best edge-emitting and vertical cavity…
We present a semi-classical analytic model for spherical core-shell surface plasmon lasers. Within this model, we drop the widely used one-mode approximations in favor of fully electromagnetic Mie theory. This allows for incorporation of…
In the present article we investigate optical near fields in semiconductor lasers. We perform finite element simulations for two different laser types, namely a super large optical waveguide (SLOW) laser, which is an edge emitter, and a…
A key benefit of photonic crystal surface emitting lasers (PCSELs) is the abillity to increase output power through scaling the emission area while mainting high quality single mode emission, allowing them to close the brightness gap which…

Nano-scale lasers harnessing metallic plasmons hold promise across physical sciences and industrial applications. Plasmons are categorized as surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) and localized surface plasmons (LSP). While SPP has gained…

In 2003 Bergman and Stockman introduced the spaser, a quantum amplifier of surface plasmons by stimulated emission of radiation [1]. They argued that, by exploiting a metal/dielectric composite medium, it should be possible to construct a…

We design and fabricate an on-chip laser source that produces a directional beam with low spatial coherence. The lasing modes are based on the axial orbit in a stable cavity and have good directionality. To reduce the spatial coherence of…
Using metal-clad (or plasmonic) waveguide structures in semiconductor lasers carries a promise of reduced size, threshold, and power consumption. This promise is put to a rigorous theoretical test, that takes into account increased…
Semiconductor lasers are notoriously sensitive to optical feedback, and their dynamics and coherence can be significantly modified through optical reinjection. We concentrate on the dynamical properties of a very small (i.e., microscale)…
Newly developed high peak power lasers have opened the possibilities of driving coherent light sources operating with laser plasma accelerated beams and wave undulators. We speculate on the combination of these two concepts and show that…
A new method for high-sensitivity subwavelength spectromicroscopy is proposed based on the usage of a spaser (near-field laser) in the form of a scanning probe microscope tip. The high spatial resolution is defined by the tip's curvature,…
