The science of semiconductor lasers with wavelength scale dimensions or less has emerged as a prominent research area in the past 15 years. There are many diverse approaches to achieving the necessary control over light needed to make semiconductor nanolasers, e.g. nanowires, photonic crystals, and metals; however, the communities involved typically have very little overlap. They are nonetheless united by the goal to make the smallest light emitting devices possible. Originally motivated by the promise of reducing thresholds and eliciting ultrafast responses, as the size of lasers has reduced below the vacuum wavelength electrical injection has become significantly harder. Even in cases where the requisite electronic and optical control has been satisfied simultaneously, parasitic loss and heat dissipation have emerged as new limitations.
