Abstract :
The silicon evanescent device platform provides electrically pumped active device functionality on a low-loss silicon-on-insulator waveguide platform. We present here recent research in the area of single-wavelength silicon evanescent lasers that utilize distributed feedback, distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), and sampled grating (SG) DBR laser topographies.
