摘要
We demonstrate a reversibly tunable photonic crystal quantum dot laser using a photochromic thin film. The laser is composed of a photonic crystal cavity with a bare cavity Q as high as 4500 coupled to a high density ensemble of indium arsenide quantum dots. By depositing a thin layer of photochromic material on the photonic crystal cavities, the laser can be optically tuned smoothly and reversibly over a wavelength range of 2.68 nm. Lasing is observed at temperatures as high as 80 K in the 900-1000 nm near-infrared wavelength range. The spontaneous emission coupling factor is measured to be as high as beta = 0.41, indicating that the laser operates in the high-beta regime.
