Abstract :
Recent progresses on wavelength-scale photonic crystal lasers are reported. Electrically-driven nondegenerate photonic crystal lasers and reconfigurable microfiber-coupled photonic crystal waveguide lasers are discussed in detail. Schemes enabling optical coupling in excess of 80% are also proposed.
