President And Fellows Of Harvard College received a $199,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to conduct research on Moiré cavity single emitter lasers from June 15, 2023 through November 30, 2024. The research focuses on developing a new type of semiconductor laser cavity formed by two photonic crystal slabs twisted relative to each other. The twist angle will be used to tune cavity properties and match modes to quantum dot emitters to achieve tunable and efficient lasing at the single emitter level. The multi-faceted research effort will include cavity simulation and design, nanofabrication of the Moiré cavities, development of means to control the twist angle, and analysis of lasing behavior. Insights gained are expected to further efficiency limits for lasing and inform cavity-emitter interaction mechanisms at the single emitter scale.
