Milliwatt-level fiber-coupled laser power from photonic crystal band-edge laser.

We report unprecedentedly high output powers measured from large area two-dimensional square-lattice photonic-crystal band-edge lasers (BELs), patterned by holographic lithography. In order to ensure mechanical rigidity, the BELs were fabricated in an InP-based epilayer bonded onto a fused silica substrate beforehand. The BEL devices, employing the surface-emitting Γ-point monopole band-edge mode, provide a fiber-coupled single mode output power as high as 2.6 mW and an external differential quantum efficiency of ~4%. The results of a three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulation agree with the experimental observation that the large BELs are beneficial for achieving both high power output and high differential quantum efficiency.
