Development of Silicon-Based Group IV Lasers

Abstract

The objective of the project is to develop silicon-based group IV heterostructure lasers by the incorporation of another group IV element of Sn. The researchers have made significant progress toward the milestones described in the proposal. Optical emitters made of P-i-N diode with direct bandgap were fabricated. The structure has been characterized by various measurements to establish that emitting layer is direct bandgap. They are forwarding herewith the detection of emission on the device, if this is realized, then they could have a breakthrough on Si-based optical emitter.
