Quantum dot lasers for silicon photonics [Invited]
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review recent advances in the field of quantum dot lasers on silicon. A summary of device performance, reliability, and comparison with similar quantum well lasers grown on silicon will be presented. We consider the possibility of scalable, low size, weight, and power nanolasers grown on silicon enabled by quantum dot active regions for future short-reach silicon photonics interconnects. © 2015 Chinese Laser Press OCIS codes: (140.5960) Semiconductor lasers; (250.0250) Optoelectronics. http://dx.doi.org/10.1364/PRJ.3.0000B1

We report growth and room temperature continuous wave operation of InAs quantum-dot microdisk lasers grown on nominal (001) silicon substrates. The active structure containing five layers of InAs/GaAs quantum dots was grown by MBE on a GaAs-on-v-grooved-Si (GoVS) template produced by MOCVD. Microdisk lasers with 4 μm diameters showed continuous wave lasing at room temperature with thresholds on...
