Abstract :
In this work we investigate a novel electrically-pumped photonic nanowire SPS design. It features an QD section, a bottom mirror, an inverted taper and a top contact section with an anti reflection coating and a gold annular ring contact. Using a single-mode model based on an elements-splitting approach, we analyze the performance of the various elements as function of geometrical parameters.
