Abstract :
The long-standing quest for the smaller and faster microlaser has been attracting scientists and engineers in the semiconductor laser community. The evolution from VCSEL, Photonic Crystal Laser, 1-D Nanobeam Laser will be re-visited with historical perspectives. And our recent efforts on the nanobeam lasers and smaller plasmonic lasers will be introduced.
