  • Patent number: 9444222
    Abstract: The 2D-PC surface emitting laser includes: a PC layer; and a lattice point for forming resonant-state arranged in the photonic crystal layer, and configured so that a light wave in a band edge in photonic band structure in the PC layer is diffracted in a plane of the PC layer, and is diffracted in a surface vertical direction of the PC layer. The perturbation for diffracting the light wave in the surface vertical direction of the PC layer is applied to the lattice point for forming resonant-state. The term “perturbation” means that modulation is periodically applied to the lattice point for forming resonant-state. For example, the periodic modulation may be refractive index modulation, hole-diameter modulation, or hole-depth modulation.

  • Publication number: 20150372452
    Abstract: A two-dimensional photonic crystal laser according to the present invention includes a two-dimensional photonic crystal layer 15 having a base body made of Al?Ga1-?As (0<?<1) or (Al?Ga1-?)?In1-?P (0<=?<1, 0<?<1) with modified refractive index areas (air holes) 151 periodically arranged therein and an epitaxial growth layer 16 created on the two-dimensional photonic crystal layer 15 by an epitaxial method. Since Al?Ga1-?As and (Al?Ga1-?)?In1-?P are solid even at high temperatures, the air holes 151 will not be deformed in the process of creating the epitaxial growth layer 16, so that the performance of the two-dimensional photonic crystal layer 15 as a resonator can be maintained at high levels.
