Nanolasers grown on silicon surface
BERKELEY, Calif. – Nanolasers now can be grown directly onto a silicon surface, an achievement that could lead to a new class of faster, more efficient microprocessors, as well as to powerful biochemical sensors that use optoelectronic chips.
The results are expected to affect a number of scientific fields, including materials science, transistor technology, laser science, optoelectronics and optical physics, according to a group of engineers at the University of California. Their work was published online...
