AbstractMicrodisk lasers are important components in photonic integrated circuits (PICs), of which the whispering gallery modes (WGMs) are usually confined within a two-dimensional (2D) planar slab. Here, owing to the strain relaxation of quantum wells by wet-etching method, we present ultra-thin curved visible microdisk lasers with single-mode lasing emission and a high quality factor of ∼17,000, which enable a 3D spatial intensity distribution of WGMs and provide an extra degree of freedom for the confined photons compared with the conventional 2D in-plane WGMs. The curved microdisk lasers with a 3D spatial profile of WGMs may provide attractive applications in flexible and multilevel photon sources for the PICs.

We describe conditions under which higher-dimensional billiard models in bounded, convex regions are fully chaotic, generalizing the Bunimovich stadium to dimensions above two. An example is a three-dimensional stadium bounded by a cylinder and several planes; the combination of these elements may give rise to defocusing, allowing large chaotic regions in phase space. By studying families of marginally-stable periodic orbits that populate the residual part of phase space, we identify conditions under which a nonlinear instability mechanism arises in their vicinity. For particular geometries, this mechanism rather induces stable nonlinear oscillations, including in the form of whispering-gallery modes.

ABSTRACTThe different possible geometries for intersubband transitions in microcavities are discussed. A consequence of the selection rule governing intersubband transition is the vanishing interaction with the electromagnetic field inside a usual vertical cavity. The geometry of vertical planar cavities which has been used extensively with interband transitions is therefore useless in the case of intersubband transitions. Different solutions are reviewed to overcome this problem. The breakdown of the selection rule in a vertical cavity is first discussed. This can be done with the use of vertical quantum wells, or thanks to intracavity diffraction gratings. Second, the use of in plane cavities is discussed. Two solutions are here envisaged: Whispering gallery modes in microdisk cavities, and efficient etched air/GaAs Bragg mirrors. Concerning the latter attractive solution, the losses by diffraction into the substrate are evaluated theoretically and experimentally. The solution of the Maxwell equations by a finite element method in this three dimensional system shows the great importance of diffraction. These results are confirmed by waveguided Fourier transform spectroscopy. To overcome this difficulty, we propose the use of lower refractive index substrates, such as oxidized AlAs.
