Abstract
We demonstrate room temperature continuous wave lasing in bottom-up photonic crystal cavities formed by patterned III-V nanopillars. Single-cell high-Q photonic crystal cavities are formed with nanopillars by selective-area epitaxy. Control of the nanopillar geometry and heterostructures allows for high-Q and large confinement factor, resulting in a low threshold power density of 75 W/cm2 at 1040 nm emission wavelength.
