研究目的
To demonstrate a record low threshold current density in a quantum dot microdisk laser operating at room temperature in continuous wave regime without temperature stabilization.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates a record low threshold current density of 250 A/cm2 in a quantum dot microdisk laser, attributing this achievement to deep localization of charge carriers in InAs/InGaAs quantum dots, high-quality epitaxial growth, and smooth deep etched sidewalls. This result significantly exceeds previous achievements in the field.
