Περίληψη:	We assess the continuous-wave and dynamic performance of a photonic laser cavity consisting of a silicon-rich-nitride-on-insulator disk resonator overlaid with a transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayer heterostructure (WSe2/MoS2) acting as the gain medium. The optically pumped TMD heterostructure fosters an interlayer exciton with long radiative recombination lifetime, providing light emission in the near-infrared (∼ 1130 nm). Following a meticulous design process, we propose a silicon-oninsulator-compatible, monolithically integrated optical source capable of emitting milliwatt power inside an integrated waveguide, featuring a low pump-power threshold of ∼ 16 kW/cm2 , and exhibiting an estimated total quantum efficiency of approximately 1.7%. The proposed laser cavity is analyzed and designed using a rigorous theoretical framework based on perturbation theory and temporal coupled-mode theory, capable of treating nanophotonic cavities of any geometry and material composition comprising both bulk and/or sheet gain media. The framework is built upon fundamental electromagnetic and semiclassical gain equations, rendering it general and adaptable to different cavity configurations and gain-media descriptions. It constitutes a powerful tool for the efficient analysis of contemporary micro- and nanophotonic semiconductor lasers, since it is capable of predicting fundamental laser characteristics, providing design directives, deriving continuous-wave design metrics, and evaluating the dynamic response of realistic laser cavities.
