Abstract
Electrically pumped lasing from Germanium-on-Silicon pnn heterojunction diode structures is demonstrated. Room temperature multimode laser with 1mW output power is measured. Phosphorous doping in Germanium at a concentration over 4x1019cm-3 is achieved. A Germanium gain spectrum of nearly 200nm is observed.

Material gain engineering in GeSn/Ge quantum wells integrated with an Si platform

TL;DR: It is shown that compressively strained Ge1−xSnx/Ge quantum wells (QWs) grown on a Ge substrate with 0.1 ≤ x’s width are a very promising gain medium for lasers integrated with an Si platform and reduction in the QW width shifts up the ground electron subband in theQW and increases occupation of the L valley in the barriers instead of the Γ valley inThe QW region.
