Abstract

Abstract Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are coupled with the laser to create active devices for optical communication, optical interconnection, and optical computing. Consequently, the light source remains a focal point of extensive research and development. Currently, the utilization of carbon quantum dots as a gain medium in photonic cavity lasers is accomplished and suggested as a viable approach for achieving active PICs. Nevertheless, challenges persist in achieving narrowband lasing beam output in one direction that is real‐time tunable while minimizing energy losses. These issues represent an active area of ongoing research. This article presents a self‐assembled microstructure and proposes a method for obtaining tunable, narrowband, unidirectional lasing beams. The objective is to stimulate further development in integration of PICs with lasers, extending beyond these applications, to realize substantial performance gains, eco‐friendly solutions, and efficient mass production.
