ABSTRACT:
An optically pumped micro-cavity laser has an optical gain cavity and an optical resonant cavity. The optical gain cavity has a gain medium disposed that generates an optical output in response to an optical pump signal. The optical resonant cavity has an electro-optic material in which is disposed an electrode structure with first and second apertures disposed generally parallel to an optical signal propagating within the electro-optic material. Electrically conductive material is disposed within the apertures coupling an electrical signal to the optical cavity. Optically reflective material is disposed on the opposing surfaces of the micro-cavity laser and between the optical gain cavity and the optical resonant cavity.
