Doping-induced plateau of strong electromagnetic confinement in the momentum space

Abstract

In this Letter, we present a design strategy for the realization of electrically powered bound states in the continuum (BIC) lasers. Despite growing attention of the optics community for BICs, practical uses of BICs in an active device are still unestablished. A large index contrast and out-of-plane symmetries that aid the formation of BICs are not trivial to achieve using conventional approaches for semiconductor laser design. Here, we propose a doping scheme to circumvent this issue. We also show that the introduction of material absorption due to carriers deteriorates the quality factor of BIC modes and show that a suitable compromise between electrical conductivity and optical loss can be achieved.
