متن کاملHybrid silicon evanescent devices
The indirect bandgap of Si has been a key hurdle in the achievement of optical gain elements. Raman lasers and amplifiers1-3 have been demonstrated, and optical gain in nanopatterned Si4 has also been observed, but an electrically pumped all-Si gain element has yet to be realized. An alternative to creating an electrically pumped all-Si gain mechanism is to take prefabricated lasers and couple ...
