Abstract :
We present a theory of metal-cavity nanolasers and our progress in experiments of metal-cavity surface-emitting microlasers and nanoLEDs with electrical injection at room temperature. After substrate removal, the devices are flip-chip bonded to silicon. The fabrication concepts represent significant progress toward integration of active nanophotonic devices with silicon electronics.
