Abstract

Lasers based on the resonant nanostructures have attracted much attention due to their low threshold and compact dimensions. Guided-mode resonance (GMR) structures have been studied in lasing configurations because of their optical field enhancement and convenient free space excitation. However, the GMR inherently requires a larger footprint and is not suitable for high-density packaging. Here, we present numerical evidence of a miniaturized laser implemented in a one-dimensional finite heterostructure cavity (FHC). A GMR resonator and distributed Bragg reflectors are integrated to create the FHC, which enables the efficient coupling and localization of the electric field. Numerical findings indicate that the threshold is approximately 22.5 µJ/cm2, while the emission region is confined within a length of 5.4 µm. In addition, by adjusting the coupling strength, it is capable to achieve controllable lasing emission. The proposed structure provides a compact source for high-capacity optical communications, sensing, and quantum information processing.
