Abstract
Recent work has focused on the epitaxial growth of III-V layers on silicon using intermediate buffer layers, typically Ge and strained superlattices, to minimize dislocations propagating into the active region. The use of quantum dot (QD) laser gain material can minimize the effect of threading dislocations on threshold and power, even after aging. These lasers can have low threshold, high cw power (180 mW CW), high cw temperature (120 °C) and high T0 (>200K up to 50°C).
