We propose a scheme of a ZnO room-temperature polariton laser based on a photonic crystal slab. We predict a very low threshold density for optical pumping: 5 × 1016 cm−3. We have studied the threshold dependence on the parameters of the system, such as detuning. The main advantage of photonic-crystal-based polariton laser is expected to be the simplicity of production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
