A new wave of innovation is transforming the future of optical technologies, driven by rapid advancements in semiconductor nanolasers. These advances are essential for future applications such as on-chip optical communication and neuromorphic computing, which require compact, energy-efficient light sources.
In a recently published paper, researchers detail the latest developments in this field, focusing on cutting-edge laser designs that enable ultra-low energy operation and deep subwavelength light confinement—crucial for future technologies like on-chip optical communication and neuromorphic computing.
The study was led by Prof. Jesper Mørk from Technical University of Denmark and is published in IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics. It highlights how miniaturizing laser cavities to the nanoscale not only improves energy efficiency but also challenges classical laser physics models.
