Abstract

A four-wavelength silicon hybrid laser array operating at room temperature is realized by evanescently coupling the optical gain of InGaAsP multi-quantum wells to the silicon waveguides of varying widths and patterned with distributed feedback gratings based on selective-area metal bonding technology. The lasers have emission peaks between 1539.9 and 1546.1 nm with a wavelength spacing of about 2.0 nm. The single laser has a typical threshold current of 50 mA and side-mode suppression ratio of 20 dB. The silicon waveguides are fabricated simply by standard photolithography and holographic lithography which are CMOS compatible.
