Hybrid III-V Silicon Quantum Dot and Quantum Well Lasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The silicon photonics field is advancing rapidly, with many new devices demonstrated recently [1]. Demonstrations have shown significantly improved performance that is now approaching that of devices on native InP substrates. In addition to the many passive devices, including AWGs, isolators, and circulators, active devices including lasers, modulators, amplifiers and photodetectors (Fig. 1) are reaching higher levels of integration. Over 60 devices have been integrated onto a single waveguide for applications such as integrated transmitters for datacom and telecom, true time delay PICs for phased array radars, and two dimensional swept transmitters for LIDAR.

Energy Levels of InGaAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Lasers with Different Sizes
In this paper, we have studied the strain, band-edge, and energy levels of cubic InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) surrounded by GaAs. It is shown that overall strain value is larger in InGaAs-GaAs interfaces, as well as in smaller QDs. Also, it is proved that conduction and valence band-edges and electron-hole levels are size dependent; larger QD sizes appeared to result in the lower recombination...

متن کاملQuantum current modeling in nano-transistors with a quantum dot
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...
متن کاملEffect of Temperature and Pressure on Correlation Energy in a Triplet State of a Two Electron Spherical Quantum Dot
The combined effect of hydrostatic pressure and temperature on correlation energy in a triplet state of two electron spherical quantum dot with square well potential is computed. The result is presented taking GaAs dot as an example. Our result shows the correlation energies are i)negative in the triplet state contrast to the singlet state ii) it increases with increase in pressure iii)further...
متن کاملElectrically pumped continuous wave quantum dot lasers epitaxially grown on patterned, on-axis (001) Si.
High performance III-V lasers at datacom and telecom wavelengths on on-axis (001) Si are needed for scalable datacenter interconnect technologies. We demonstrate electrically injected quantum dot lasers grown on on-axis (001) Si patterned with {111} v-grooves lying in the [110] direction. No additional Ge buffers or substrate miscut was used. The active region consists of five InAs/InGaAs dot-i...
