A compact photonic crystal defect nanocavity was fabricated on a sapphire substrate. Continuous wave lasing at room temperature was achieved with a low threshold power. We characterized the operated mode, quality factor and radiative efficiency for the compact laser. The thermal properties of the nanolaser were also investigated.

Abstract-A monolithic integrated chip-scale surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor is demonstrated. The device consists of a pn photodiode covered with a periodic modified thin metal film whose lattice constant is on the order of the wavelength of light. The device performs real-time measurement of resonant wavelengths of enhanced optical transmission due to surface plasmon resonance, which are influenced by the presence of chemical or biological materials at the device's surface.
