This review article describes the state-of-art methodologies, mainly self-assembly routes,
which are in practice to fabricate photonic crystals (PCs) for advanced applications. The self …

We propose a class of lasers based on a fourth-order exceptional point of degeneracy (EPD)
referred to as the degenerate band edge (DBE). EPDs have been found in parity-time …

We have fabricated electrically injected InAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum-dot (QD) photonic-
crystal (PC) surface-emitting lasers (SELs) and successfully demonstrated room …

Room temperature, continuous-wave lasing in a quantum dot photonic crystal nanocavity on
a Si substrate has been demonstrated by optical pumping. The laser was an air-bridge …

Up to now colloidal photonic crystal (CPC) lasers essentially relied on photonic band gap
edge effects, as a consequence of the poor passband quality achieved by previously …

We demonstrate one-dimensional nanobeam photonic bandedge lasers with InGaAsP
quantum wells at room temperature from the lowest dielectric band of photonic crystal …

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 …

Using the master equation approach, we investigate the stationary regime of a single-emitter
laser: an incoherently pumped single two-level system interacting with a single cavity mode …

One of the possibilities of increasing optical gain of a light emitting source is by embedding it
into a photonic crystal (PhC). If the properties of the PhC are tuned so that the emission …

We report on a new type of photonic crystal laser structure, nano stepping-stones (NSSs),
composed of a linear (or one-dimensional) chain of equally spaced discrete InAsP/InP …
