Abstract

We demonstrate the continuous-wave (CW) operation of photonic-crystal (PhC) nanocavity lasers at up to 80°C by using InP buried heterostructures (BH). The wavelength of a PhC laser can be precisely designed over a wide range exceeding 100 nm by controlling the lattice constant of the PhC. The dynamic responses of the PhC laser are also demonstrated. These results reveal the laser´s availability for wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) application to optical interconnection on CMOS chips.
