Area of Science:

  • Optoelectronics
  • Semiconductor Lasers
  • Quantum Dot Physics

Background:

  • Microdisk lasers utilizing Stranski-Krastanow InAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots are crucial optoelectronic devices.
  • Understanding temperature-dependent lasing characteristics is vital for device performance and stability.
  • Quantum dot lasers exhibit unique properties influenced by temperature, affecting threshold current and lasing states.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the temperature dependence of one-state and two-state lasing in quantum dot microdisk lasers.
  • To analyze the impact of temperature on threshold current density and lasing wavelength.
  • To determine the critical temperature for ground-state lasing quenching and its relation to microdisk size.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental characterization of microdisk lasers across a range of temperatures.
  • Numerical simulations employing a rate equation model including free carrier absorption.
  • Analysis of threshold current density, lasing state transitions, and wavelength shifts as a function of temperature and microdisk diameter.

Main Results:

  • Ground-state threshold current density increases with temperature, with a characteristic temperature of ~150 K near room temperature, followed by super-exponential growth at higher temperatures.
  • The onset current density for two-state lasing decreases with increasing temperature, narrowing the pure one-state lasing regime.
  • Ground-state lasing is quenched above a critical temperature, which decreases with smaller microdisk diameters (from 107 °C to 37 °C for 28 μm to 20 μm disks). A 9 μm disk showed a temperature-induced jump from first to second excited-state lasing.

Conclusions:

  • The developed rate equation model accurately predicts the experimental temperature-dependent behavior of quantum dot microdisk lasers.
  • Ground-state lasing quenching is strongly dependent on microdisk size and can be approximated by linear functions of saturated gain and output loss.
  • Temperature management and device design are critical for optimizing the operational range and stability of quantum dot microdisk lasers.
