Abstract
Micro- and nanolasers promise exciting findings at the interface between laserphysics and quantum optics. Because of their low mode volume, these nanophotonic devices exhibit the cavity quantum electrodynamical effect of high-β lasing, allowing for stable laser operation close above the lasing threshold, maintaining only hundreds or even only tens of photons inside their cavity. Up to now, studies of such lasers have been focused almost exclusively on the properties of the lasers themselves without considering their interaction with other passive or active optical elements and devices. This is quite amazing since external control and coupling of lasers is well known to address many fascinating effects of non-linear dynamics, such as zero-lag synchronization of mutually coupled microlasers or the possibility of implementing neuromorphic reservoir computing in networks of coupled lasers [1].
