Photonic microcavity and nanocavity devices with quantum dot active
materials combine the strong confinement of photons and the
discrete states of electronic carriers. They are promising
candidates for small-footprint, high-speed and low-power active
optical components, and provide a robust platform for the
enhancement of light-matter interactions. This monograph starts
with an introduction to the basic concepts of quantum dot active
materials and photonic cavity devices, and the potential
applications in photonic integrated circuits and quantum
information processing. Then the material growth and device
fabrication techniques are described. Microdisk lasers and photonic
crystal nanocavity lasers with InAs quantum dot active material are
presented as two important examples. The lasing behavior's
temperature and wavelength dependences are explained by a simple
model. The last part of the monograph presents the proposal and
demonstration of the first photonic crystal nanocavity edge
emitting laser, which is designed for high density planar
integration and to achieve high collection efficiency for
nanolasers.
