Abstract :
Light emission in crystalline silicon (c-Si) has been a subject of intense research over the past two decades. Many different strategies have been explored to make silicon an efficient infrared emitter at strategic telecom wavelengths, including doping with rare-earth atoms, or exploiting optically active structural defects.
