摘要
In this letter, we demonstrate miniband lasing in a 1D dual-periodic photonic crystal (PC). The lasing efficiency is dramatically enhanced by about eight times and meanwhile the threshold is decreased to about 1/6 of that of the band-edge lasing in a single-periodic PC. This high optical conversion efficiency can be attributed to the extremely flat dispersion and large mode volume of the miniband induced by dual-periodicity. Numerical studies are presented to explain the mechanism of the spontaneous emission enhancement induced by the miniband, which are in good accord with our experiments. This finding may provide potential applications to low-threshold lasers and the semiconductor laser community.
