  • Patent number: 10404036
    Abstract: A two-dimensional photonic crystal laser with transparent conductive cladding layer is provided. The two-dimensional photonic crystal region through the etching process is composed by multiple periodic air-holes with proper duty cycle. Then, the transparent conductive oxide layer is directly deposited on the top of the entire two-dimensional photonic crystal structure to cover the entire two-dimensional photonic crystal structure in order to form a current spreading layer. The configuration and the process condition of transparent conductive oxide layer are optimized to provide uniform current spreading path and the transparency. In addition to simplifying the whole fabrication process, the optical confinement is improved and the maximum gain to optical feedback is obtained. Overall, low threshold, small divergence angle and high quality laser output is achieved to satisfy the requirements for next-generation light sources.
