Project Details
Description
Silicon photonics is currently a dominant technology in optical and data communication systems which demand for higher speeds, low power consumption and low cost. However, on-chip integrated, high efficiency lasers are still elusive due to mismatch in material platforms between the lasers and silicon substrates. The project aims to investigate the growth and demonstration of compound semiconductor microring lasers on silicon substrates using selective area growth to engineer the shape of the lasing cavity at the nano/micro-scale. The outcomes of this project will open up new doors to the industry since an integrated laser source which is reliable, efficient and easily manufacturable is the last missing link in Si photonics.
