Abstract :
A photonic crystal nanolaser consisting of only the shift of two lattice points was fabricated by HI/Xe inductively coupled plasma etching. The room temperature lasing was observed by photopumping. The three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain calculation showed that the lasing mode has small modal volume close to (λ/2n)3.
