TLDR
In this paper, the authors demonstrate continuous-wave lasing from a quantum dot photonic crystal nanocavity at temperatures of up to 150 K. The achieved lasing thresholds of 181 nA and 287 nA are record-low for any type of electrically pumped laser.
Abstract
Researchers demonstrate continuous-wave lasing from a quantum dot photonic crystal nanocavity at temperatures of up to 150 K. The achieved lasing thresholds of 181 nA (at 50 K) and 287 nA (at 150 K) are record-lows for any type of electrically pumped laser.

Monolayer semiconductor nanocavity lasers with ultralow thresholds

TL;DR: A new lasing strategy is reported: an atomically thin crystalline semiconductor—that is, a tungsten diselenide monolayer—is non-destructively and deterministically introduced as a gain medium at the surface of a pre-fabricated PCC, allowing an optical pumping threshold as low as 27 nanowatts at 130 kelvin similar to the value achieved in quantum-dot PCC lasers.

Attojoule Optoelectronics for Low-Energy Information Processing and Communications

TL;DR: This work shows that the next major interconnect dissipations are in the electronic circuits for receiver amplifiers, timing recovery, and multiplexing, and it can address these through the integration of photodetectors to reduce or eliminate receiver circuit energies, free-space optics to eliminate the need for timing andmultiplexing circuits, and using optics generally to save power by running large synchronous systems.

David A. B. Miller
- 18 Sep 2016 - 
TL;DR: Optics offers unique opportunities for reducing energy in information processing and communications while resolving the problem of interconnect bandwidth density inside machines as discussed by the authors, and the physics of optics and optoelectronics fundamentally address both interconnect energy and bandwidth density.

High- Q photonic nanocavity in a two-dimensional photonic crystal

TL;DR: A silicon-based two-dimensional photonic-crystal slab is used to fabricate a nanocavity with Q = 45,000 and V = 7.0 × 10-14 cm3; the value of Q/V is 10–100 times larger than in previous studies, underlying the realization that light should be confined gently in order to be confined strongly.
