研究目的
Investigating the integration of III–V nanowire array telecom lasers on (001) silicon-on-insulator photonic platforms to enable monolithic integration of ultracompact lasers on silicon.
研究成果
The proposed nanowire array laser cavities on SOI (001) platforms offer a path toward monolithic integration of ultracompact and efficient light sources for silicon photonics, with the ability to operate at telecom wavelengths and be coupled to waveguides. The design allows for lithographic tuning of lasing wavelengths and maintains high Q factors and small footprints, suggesting potential for wavelength-division multiplexing and low-threshold lasing.
