“…Greater ease of integration is a consequence of a more general feature of LCI lasers: an additional spatial degree of freedom is released for development. For example, the use of nonconducting cladding layers enables capacitive modulation and gain-tuning from a top electrode [1], [2], as shown in Fig. 1(a).…”

We employ two-dimensional (2-D) self-consistent physical modeling of a particularly promising lateral current injection laser reported recently in the literature to gain insight into the physical mechanisms governing the operation of this family of devices. We demonstrate the substantial benefits to be obtained from improved hole injection facilitated by relatively light p-type doping of barrier layers; from lateral shifting of the transverse junction to improve the overlap between the photon field and material gain; and from creating a lateral heterobarrier via quantum-well intermixing in order to confine carriers in the lateral direction. We find that with a number of relatively minor physically motivated modifications to existing fabrication processes, lateral injection lasers have the potential to exhibit greatly improved performance characteristics and to realize thereby their tremendous potential as enablers of optoelectronic integrated circuits and novel device structures.

“…Other researchers have been motivated by design possibilities, such as adding functional features in the vertical direction, e.g., adding a third terminal for the purposes of gain switching, capacitive modulation, and gain tuning. [49][50][51][52][53] Lateral injection of carriers should be of particular importance for the implementation of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, where it allows one to avoid passing the current through the Bragg mirrors. 29…”
