Semiconductor Laser Grown Directly on Silicon Substrate

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CARDIFF, Wales, March 9, 2016 — A practical laser grown directly on a silicon substrate could transform communications, healthcare and energy systems. Silicon, the most widely used material for the fabrication of electronic devices, is used in the manufacture of semiconductors, which are embedded into nearly every device in use today, from smartphones and computers to satellite communications and GPS. While electronic devices have gotten faster, more efficient and more complex, those advances have put a strain on the underlying technology. Researchers have found it increasingly difficult to meet these demands...Read full article

    integrated photonics
    Integrated photonics is a field of study and technology that involves the integration of optical components, such as lasers, modulators, detectors, and waveguides, on a single chip or substrate. The goal of integrated photonics is to miniaturize and consolidate optical elements in a manner similar to the integration of electronic components on a microchip in traditional integrated circuits. Key aspects of integrated photonics include: Miniaturization: Integrated photonics aims to reduce the...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
