Semiconductor Nanolasers

Abstract

Recent progress in the field of semiconductor nanolasers is discussed. New designs have emerged that eliminate the need for a conventional Fabry–Perot cavity, bringing down the physical dimensions of the lasers below the diffraction limit. Semiconductor nanolasers are critical components for nanophotonics and offer possible integration with Si nanoelectronics.
