The realization of a fully integrated group IV electrically driven laser at room temperature is an essential issue to be solved. We introduced a novel group IV side-emitting laser at a wavelength of 1550 nm based on a 3-layer Ge/Si quantum well (QW). By designing this scheme, we showed that the structural, electronic, and optical properties are excited for lasing at 1550 nm. The preliminary results show that the device can produce a good light spot shape convenient for direct coupling with the waveguide and single-mode light emission. The laser luminous power can reach up to 2.32 mW at a wavelength of 1550 nm with a 300-mA current. Moreover, at room temperature (300 K), the laser can maintain maximum light power and an ideal wavelength (1550 nm). Thus, this study provides a novel approach to reliable, efficient electrically pumped silicon-based lasers.

ABSTRACTGroup IV-IV heterostructures with Sn as one constituent have potentially important applications. We report on an investigation of the initial stages of interface formation for deposition of Sn on Si(100)2×1 and Si(111)7×7. We find that simple growth occurs up to a critical coverage θc. (α1.25×1015 cm-2), independent of temperature. Beyond θc. growth continues to be laminar for deposition at 150 K only, while island formation is observed at temperatures at and above room temperature. The Si(111)7×7 reconstruction seems unperturbed by Sn deposition at room temperature while the Si(100)2×1 begins to order. However, the reordering, a necessary condition for perfect growth, is incomplete.

Abstract Water and oxygen sensitive compounds (tBu3SiEX2)2, tBu3SiEX2 Do and (tBu3Si)2EX (E = AI, Ga, In; X = (F), Cl, Br; Do = OR2, NR3) have been synthezised by reaction of EX3 with tBu3SiNa in the absence or presence of donors. In addition, (tBu3Si)AlBr2, (tBu3Si)2InF and tBu3SiInBr2 were prepared by reaction of AlBr3 with (tBu3Sij2Zn or of (tBu3Si)2In- In(Si/Bu3)2 with AgF2 and HBr, respectively. The adduct [tBu3SiAlBr2 · AlBr3 ·1/2MgBr2]2 is formed from AlBr3 and (tBu3Si)2Mg(THF)2. Thermal decomposition of the compounds in solution or in the gas phase leads to the formation of tBu3SiEX2 (from the dimers or the donor adducts) and of tBu3SiX. The Lewis acidity of tBu3SiEX2 against donors increases in the direction Do = Et2O < THF < NEtMe2. Dehalogenation of (tBu3Si)2ECl with tBu3SiNa(THF)2 in pentane at room temperature leads to clusters (tBu3Si)4Al2, (tBu3Si)3Ga2•, (tBu3Si)4In2 and (tBu3Si)3Ga2Na(THF)3, reduction of tBu3SiGaCl2 with Na or K in heptane at 100°C to the tetrahedran (tBu3Si)4Ga4. The structures of (tBu3SiGaCl2)2, (tBu3Si)2GaCl, and [tBu3SiAlBr2 AlBr3 ·1/2MgBr2]2 have been determined by X-ray structure analysis.

AbstractLow-cost, light-weight, low-power, large-format, room-temperature, mid-wave infrared (MWIR) detectors are needed for reduced-scale aircraft. An opportunity, suggested by direct-read X-radiography systems, is the use of thin film transistor (TFT) array as read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) for low-cost sensors deposited directly and unpatterned onto this ROIC. TFTs have already been thoroughly optimized for power, weight, large-format, and cost by the flat-panel-display industry. We present experimental investigation of aqueous-spray-deposited, mid-wave-IR, metal-chalcogenide heterojunction CdS/PbS photodiodes for this application. Measured responsivity, detectivity D*, and photoresponse spectra are reported.

A room-temperature strip-guided “manufacturable” Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI)/GeSn integrated-photonics quantum-gyroscope chip operating at 1550 nm is proposed and analysed. We demonstrate how the entangled photons generated in Si Spontaneous Four Wave Mixing (SFWM) can be used to improve the resolution of a Sagnac interferometric gyroscope. We propose different integrated architectures based on degenerate and non-degenerate SFWM. The chip comprises several beam splitters, two SFWM entangled photon sources, a pump filter, integrated Mach–Zehnder interferometric gyro, and an array of waveguide coupled GeSn/Ge/Si single-photon avalanche detectors. The laser pumped SWFM sources generate the signal-idler pairs, which, in turn, are used to measure the two-photon, four-photon, and higher order coincidences, resulting in an increasing of the gyro resolution by a factor of two and four, with respect to the classical approach.
