  • Abstract
    Recent demonstrations of light emission from group IV materials such as Ge and its alloy with Sn renew the vision for the realization of an all group IV based opto-electronic platform. We compare some of these approaches to our strain method and mention rewarding research to further improve materials and concepts.
