Abstract :
We implement amorphous-Al2O3 as a thermally-conductive shield in metallo-dielectric nanolasers, and demonstrate an electrically pumped device. Joint consideration of various design parameters reveals that this design allows the laser to dissipate heat through its shield, aiding thermal management in nanoscale devices.
