Abstract :
We demonstrated high-speed photonic crystal nanocavity lasers with response time as short as ~2ps and direct modulation speeds exceeding 100 GHz. Such high-speed characteristics are enabled by the use of cavity quantum electrodynamics effects such as strong spontaneous emission rate enhancement
