Electrically pumped metallo-dielectric pedestal nanolasers (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Electrically pumped metallo-dielectric nanolasers are demonstrated. Employing a two-step InP chemical etching, we obtain straight pedestal sidewalls and preferentially reduce the diameter of the n-doped InP cladding more than the p-doped one for opti...
