The Longwave Silicon Chip - Integrated Plasma-Photonics in Group IV And III-V Semiconductors

Abstract

This Report presents results obtained on a three-year basic research project intended to advance the science and technology of nano-photonics, electro-optics, and nano-plasmonics integrated on a silicon opto-electronic chip that operates in the 1.3 to 5.0 micron wavelength range. Original contributions were made in group IV photonics for mid-infrared applications; SiGeSn heterostructure photonics; group IV plasmonics, Franz-Keldysh modulation in GeSn; electro-optical logic; reconfigurable optoelectronics; free carrier electro-modulation; band-to-band GeSn MQW laser diodes; GeSn photodiodes and LEDs; SiGe third-order nonlinear optics. Many additional topics were investigated.
