Journal ArticleDOI
Thresholdless nanoscale coaxial lasers
Mercedeh Khajavikhan,Aleksandar Simic,Michael Katz,J. H. Lee,J. H. Lee,Boris Slutsky,Amit Mizrahi,Vitaliy Lomakin,Yeshaiahu Fainman +8 more
TL;DR: A family of coaxial nanostructured cavities that potentially solve the resonator scalability challenge by means of their geometry and metal composition are described, and the smallest room-temperature, continuous-wave telecommunications-frequency laser to date is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Room-temperature subwavelength metallo-dielectric lasers
Maziar P. Nezhad,Aleksandar Simic,Olesya Bondarenko,Boris Slutsky,Amit Mizrahi,Liang Feng,Vitaliy Lomakin,Yeshaiahu Fainman +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate room-temperature pulsed laser emission from optically pumped metallo-dielectric cavities that are smaller than their emission wavelength in all three dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrically pumped sub-wavelength metallo-dielectric pedestal pillar lasers
Jin Hyoung Lee,Mercedeh Khajavikhan,Aleksandar Simic,Qing Gu,Olesya Bondarenko,Boris Slutsky,Maziar P. Nezhad,Yeshaiahu Fainman +7 more
TL;DR: The metallo-dielectric cavity significantly enhances the quality factor of the wavelength and subwavelength scale lasers and the pedestal structure significantly reduces the threshold gain which can potentially enable laser operation at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Third-order nonlinearity in silicon beyond 2350 nm
F. Gholami,Sanja Zlatanovic,Aleksandar Simic,Lan Liu,David Borlaug,Nikola Alic,Maziar P. Nezhad,Yeshaiahu Fainman,Stojan Radic +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Kerr nonlinearity in silicon was measured in the 2350 nm to 2750 nm wavelength range, where three-photon absorption effect is present, and the measured dispersion trend for the Kerr coefficient is consistent with that obtained using Kramers-Kronig relations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Etch-free low loss silicon waveguides using hydrogen silsesquioxane oxidation masks
TL;DR: An etch-free fabrication technique for creating low loss silicon waveguides in the silicon-on-insulator material system is proposed and demonstrated, bypassing the need for any wet or dry etching steps.
