Abstract

Efficient compact sources are necessary to consider on chip optical interconnections in integrated circuits. Properties of III-V microdisk light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (LASERs) coupled to Si waveguides and fabricated on a 200-mm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) pilot line are investigated.
