Designing Better Spiral Microlasers
A theoretical analysis suggests that tiny disk-shaped laser, sized in the micrometer regime, could give off directional, rather than uniform, illumination.
Low-Q cavity state oscillation.
Tiny disk-shaped lasers, sized in the micrometer regime, could someday play an important role in optical computing, but only if they can give off directional, rather than uniform, illumination. A recent theoretical analysis clarifies a design that could create the desired effect (Opt. Lett. 34, 163).
