IEEE Researchers Provide Mathematical Solutions to Study 2D Light Interaction in Photonic Crystal Lasers

Photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers or PCSELs are laser diodes that generate laser beams through controlled light wave interaction within a photonic crystal structure. In a recent study, researchers developed a method to study the two-dimensional interaction of light waves in PCSELs and measure their efficiency. The findings suggest that triangular-lattice PCSELs may be more efficient at converting electricity into laser light compared to square-lattice PCSELs, providing mathematical modelling tools for designing efficient laser diodes.
 
Laser diodes are semiconductors that generate light and amplify it using repeated reflection or ‘optical feedback’. Once the light … Read More → "IEEE Researchers Provide Mathematical Solutions to Study 2D Light Interaction in Photonic Crystal Lasers"
