Abstract
To efficiently couple light between active and passive components for Si photonics, we developed the lateral aspect ratio trapping (LART) technology to grow lasers and high-speed photodetectors on patterned commercial SOI substrates for integrated Si photonics. Multimode and single-mode lasing from lateral quantum wells (QWs) as the gain media using LART have been achieved in the 1433 -1630 nm band with varying dimensions of micro-ring lasers. High-performance PDs were also constructed on the monolithic InP/SOI platform with laterally grown p-i-n structures and show open eye diagram exceeding 40 Gb/s.
