Toward a Germanium Laser for Integrated Silicon Photonics

It has been demonstrated theoretically and experimentally that germanium, with proper strain engineering and n-type doping, can be an efficient light emitter and a gain medium at its direct bandgap within the third optical communication window ( ~1520-1620 nm). In this paper, we systematically discu...
