Electrically Pumped Hybrid III-V/Si Photonic Crystal Surface Emitting Lasers with Buried Tunnel-Junction

We report here an electrically pumped hybrid photonic crystal surface emitting laser (PCSELs) on silicon. The laser cavity consists of a transferred InGaAsP multi-quantum well (MQW) heterostructure membrane, printed on a single layer silicon photonic crystal (Si-PC) cavity. A buried tunnel-junction (BTJ) has been employed in the MQW structure for efficiency charge injection. Single mode emitted spectrum was achieved at 1504 nm for a large area laser in the continuous-wave (c.w.) mode under room temperature operation.
