| contents | We report lasing from a lithographically defined buried heterostructure with an estimated lateral footprint of (107 nm)^2, embedded in an InP photonic-crystal nanobeam cavity. This represents the smallest laterally confined buried heterostructure gain region from which lasing has been observed. Despite etching of the active region during cavity definition and the associated risk of surface-related nonradiative recombination, optically pumped devices exhibit a clear lasing threshold and a narrow linewidth. By systematically varying the BH size, we investigate how the lasing threshold depends on the active volume under optical pumping. The estimated intrinsic threshold under ideal carrier injection is 57 nW, comparable to values reported for single quantum-dot nanolasers, highlighting the potential of quantum-dot-scale buried heterostructures as deterministic, scalable gain media for nanophotonic lasers. |
