Abstract
We monolithically fabricated vertical cavity lasers with densely packed colloidal quantum dot films and demonstrated single-mode lasing operation using nanosecond optical excitation. Due to the accurate spectral and spatial alignment of the cavity optical modes and the quantum dot gains, in addition to the high quality factors of our devices, we observed lasing from a colloidal quantum dot gain medium only 35 nm thick (6 or 7 monolayers thick) with a threshold of 20 mJ/cm2. We fabricated a laser with more numerous quantum dot layers as well, which exhibited a lower lasing threshold of 9 mJ/cm2 due to the enhanced modal gain. This work represents an important step toward fabricating monolithic colloidal quantum dot lasers for practical photonic devices.
