Abstract :
This work demonstrates pulsed and continuous-wave (cw) operations of photonic band-edge lasers at telecom wavelength (1.55 μm). This InP-based two-dimensional photonic crystal (2DPC) laser is integrated over a silicon wafer, opening new perspectives towards practical silicon-based photonics.
