Researchers Build Semiconductor Laser Using Photonic Crystal
Nov 4, 2003 — MURRAY HILL, N. J., Nov. 4 -- In what they call "an experimental tour de force," a team led by scientists from Bell Labs, the research and development arm of Lucent Technologies, has built a novel semiconductor laser that may have numerous applications, from advanced optical communications to sensitive chemical detectors. The small size of the new laser, a proof-of-concept device described in an article published online last week by the journal Science, may lead to various laser-on-a-chip...
