چکیده
We report on-chip InGaAs nanopillar lasers directly grown on silicon using a lowtemperature, CMOS-compatible MOCVD process. A novel whispering gallery and Fabry-Perot hybrid cavity mode provides optical feedback for laser oscillation in as-grown subwavelength nanopillars. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (140.5960) Semiconductor lasers; (230.3120) Integrated optics devices; (130.3130) Integrated optics materials

Anapole nanolasers for mode-locking and ultrafast pulse generation
Nanophotonics is a rapidly developing field of research with many suggestions for a design of nanoantennas, sensors and miniature metadevices. Despite many proposals for passive nanophotonic devices, the efficient coupling of light to nanoscale optical structures remains a major challenge. In this article, we propose a nanoscale laser based on a tightly confined anapole mode. By harnessing the ...

We report novel indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) nanopillar lasers that are monolithically grown on (100)-silicon-based functional metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) at low temperature (410 °C). The MOSFETs maintain their performance after the nanopillar growth, providing a direct demonstration of complementary metal-oxide-semiconudctor (CMOS) compatibility. Room-tempe...

متن کاملNanophotonic integrated circuits from nanoresonators grown on silicon.
Harnessing light with photonic circuits promises to catalyse powerful new technologies much like electronic circuits have in the past. Analogous to Moore's law, complexity and functionality of photonic integrated circuits depend on device size and performance scale. Semiconductor nanostructures offer an attractive approach to miniaturize photonics. However, shrinking photonics has come at great...
متن کاملNanolasers grown on silicon
The integration of optical interconnects with silicon-based electronics can address the growing limitations facing chip-scale data transport as microprocessors become progressively faster. However, until now, material lattice mismatch and incompatible growth temperatures have fundamentally limited monolithic integration of lasers onto silicon substrates. Here, we use a novel growth scheme to ov...
