1310 nm hybrid InP/InGaAsP on silicon distributed feedback laser with high side-mode suppression ratio

Abstract

We report on the design, fabrication and performance of a hetero-integrated III-V on silicon distributed feedback lasers (DFB) at 1310 nm based on direct bonding and adiabatic coupling. The continuous wave (CW) regime is achieved up to 55 °C as well as mode-hop-free operation with side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) above 55 dB. At room temperature, the current threshold is 36 mA and the maximum coupled power in the silicon waveguide is 22 mW.
