  • Abstract
    An ultracompact buried heterostructure photonic crystal nanocavity laser exhibits a small energy cost of 8.76 fJ/bit with 20-Gbit/s modulation by optical pumping. The maximum output power in waveguide and the external differential quantum efficiency are -10.3 dBm and 53%, respectively.
