Abstract
We report a quantum dot microcavity laser with a cw sub- W lasing threshold. In the region below threshold, the Q initially degrades with increasing pump power, after which saturation occurs and the Q recovers and exceeds the spectrometer resolution. We associate the initial Q spoiling with the QD state broadening that occurs with increasing pump power. For a 1.8 m diameter microdisk, the Q before lasing typically exceeds 15000. While lasing occurs under a variety of conditions, significant reduction of the lasing threshold is observed when an individual QD state is aligned with the cavity.Citation
