Abstract :
CMOS-compatible III-V/Si vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) based on a double set of photonic crystal reflectors are demonstrated, showing single-mode continuous-wave operation at 1.55-μm with thresholds in the sub-mW range. The natural propensity of these VCSEL devices for achieving a wide range of functionality is discussed.
