A hybrid silicon single mode laser with a slotted feedback structure.

In this paper, a III-V/Silicon hybrid single mode laser operating at a long wavelength for photonic integration circuit is presented. The InGaAlAs gain structure is bonded onto a patterned silicon-on insulator wafer directly. The novel mode selected mechanism based on a slotted silicon waveguide is applied, which only need standard photolithography in the whole technological process. The side mode suppression ratio of larger than 20dB is obtained from experiments.

Hybrid III-V/silicon single-mode laser with periodic microstructures.

In this Letter, a III-V/silicon hybrid single-mode laser operating at C band for photonic integration circuit is presented. The InGaAlAs gain structure is bonded onto a patterned silicon-on insulator through wafer to wafer directly. The mode selected mechanism based on a hybrid III-V/silicon straight cavity with periodic microstructures is applied, which only need low cost i-line projection photolithography in the whole technological process. At room temperature, we obtain 0.62 mW output power in continuous-wave. The side mode suppression ratio of larger than 20 dB is obtained from experiments. [corrected].
