Heterogeneously Integrated III-V/Si Distributed Bragg Reflector Laser with Adiabatic Coupling

Abstract

We report on a III-V on Silicon distributed Bragg reflector laser with adiabatic coupling operating continuous wave at 1547 nm. The lasing threshold at 20 °C and the maximum output power are 17 mA and 15 mW, respectively. The fiber-coupled power is higher than 4 mW. The device is directly modulated and generates open eye-diagram up to 12.5 Gb/s.
