| contents | The demand for high-efficiency and miniaturized on-chip light sources drives continuous innovation in photonic crystal (PhC) microcavity lasers. The presence of slow-light effects in PhC microcavities leads to the mode competition between Bloch modes resulting in multi-mode lasing, which obstructs the dense integration of PhC lasers. Here, we theoretically verify a technical scheme for the single-mode lasing of PhC line-defect-cavity lasers by spatially pumping a certain Bloch mode via optical interference.We demonstrate the capability to select a specific longitudinal mode to lase with a side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) exceeding 30 dB. The interaction between optical interference fringes and the vacuum electromagnetic field inside the PhC cavity improves the linewidth and noise characteristics of lasers. This scheme of Bloch mode selection provides a novel and viable tool for the manipulation of PhC microcavity lasers. |
