Gather 2 1 School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, The University of Western Australia, Crawley 6009, Australia, m.t.hill@ieee.org 2 SUPA, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St Andrews, North Haugh, St Andrews KY16 9SS, UK, mcg6@st andrews.ac.uk Advances in small lasers Supplementary Information Figure S1. Timeline of the development of various forms of small lasers from first demonstration then onto electrical, CW and room temperature operation, and in some cases already to commercial applications. The development time from initial demonstrations of a laser type to applications appears to be between 10 and 20 years. However, compared to the more conventional dielectric small lasers, the recently developed metal cavity lasers have seen a very rapid development. Abbreviations : LT low temperature (mostly for first demonstrations), RT room temperature, E electrically pumped, O optically pumped, P pulsed operation, CW continuous operation, APPS first applications. References for the data points on the timeline are given below. [1] H. Soda, K. Iga, GaInAsP/InP surface emitting injection lasers, Jpn. J. Appl. Phys., 18, pp , (1979). [2] K.

5 5 Figure S3. Key properties of various types of small lasers over the past > 20 years. a) critical minimum size in one dimension (solid symbols) and overall minimum laser volume (open symbols), both relative to the free space wavelength λ 0 of the emitted light. b) Q factor of the laser cavity and c) threshold of the laser in µw for CW optically pumped lasers and in µa for lasers operated by electrical pumping (pulsed or CW). Open symbols are for cryogenic temperatures and filled for RT. On green bars: diamonds VCSELs, squares microdisk, circles photonic crystal; on grey bars: triangles up metallic photon, triangles down metallic plasmon. Note the strong divide in characteristics between the dielectric and metal cavity lasers with regard to size and Q factor. Metallic structures dominate for critical dimensions and volume below λ 0 and λ 0 3, respectively; they also show Q factors less than References corresponding to the data points shown are given below.
