Abstract :
We successfully increase the output power of an electrically driven photonic crystal laser. By using a six-quantum-well structure and decreasing the series resistance, the device, having 32-μA threshold current, exhibits 39.3-μW output power. We also demonstrate bit-error rate measurements with 10-Gbit/s signal without using optical amplifier.
