Abstract
We investigated the behavior of a Raman silicon laser based on a photonic-crystal nanocavity while it was irradiated with electrostatic charges from a static-electricity generator. Laser oscillation stopped after a few seconds of a weak irradiation and the time needed for the recovery of laser oscillation increased with irradiation time. We measured the resonance spectra of the nanocavity modes during irradiation. It indicates that such a lasing interruption can be caused by wavelength shifts of the nanocavity modes and absorption losses due to the electrostatic charges on the nanocavity surface. These results are useful for the sensing of electrostatic charges.
