Résumé
The general objective of this presentation is to demonstrate the great potential of two dimensional (2D) Photonic Crystals (PC) based on InP-membranes bonded onto silica on silicon substrates, with a special emphasis on the development of various classes of 2D PC microlasers. The basic building block consists in an InP (and related material) membrane including a 2D PC formed by a lattice of holes : the membrane is bonded onto low index material,
.g. silica on silicon substrate, in the prospect of heterogeneous integration with silicon based microelectronics. Examples of devices will be presented, specifically micro-lasers based on 2D PC micro-cavities as well as on 2D in plane and surface emitting Bloch modes (2D Distributed-Feed-Back micro-laser).
