Abstract
The authors demonstrate a compact and efficient fiber coupling scheme for a surface-emitting photonic crystal laser by using a cleaved fiber tip connected to a wavelength-division-multiplexing 1×2 fiber coupler. Simultaneous optical excitation and laser light collection are achieved for a 1.55μm InGaAsP graphite-lattice Γ-point band edge laser. On comparing with the conventional microphotoluminescence setup based on an objective lens, their direct butt coupling setup is much simpler and yet offers the fiber-coupled output approximately ten times higher. Finite-difference time-domain simulations confirm that the Γ-point band edge laser exhibits the desired vertical emission property and that the fiber coupling efficiency can be as high as 30%.
