Abstract :
We present on an optical antenna based nanoLED that is fabricated directly on top of an InP waveguide. Waveguide coupling efficiency of 70% and directional emission is achieved with a Yagi-Uda antenna structure. By using an epitaxial lift-off process, we show that this device could be integrated directly onto a Silicon-photonics substrate.
