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.

Large inherent optical gain from the direct gap transition of Ge thin films

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported a large inherent direct gap optical gain ≥1300 cm−1 at room temperature from both tensile-strained n+ Ge-on-Si films and intrinsic Ge-onsulator using femtosecond transmittance spectroscopy captured before direct-to-indirect valley scattering.
