Abstract
Quantum-dot (QD) and quantum-dash (QDash) have been shown to be promising gain materials for lasers directly grown on Si due to their better tolerance to crystal defects and thermal stability. Here we report optically pumped InP-based InAs QDash microdisk lasers (MDLs) directly grown on on-axis (001) Si. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of room-temperature continuous-wave lasing of a QDash MDL on Si in the C band and L band. To the best of our knowledge, the lowest threshold of around 400 µW and highest operation temperature of 323 K have been achieved. An analysis of experimental results shows that the dominant lasing wavelength of MDLs varies with the thickness and diameter of the MDLs. Our demonstration shows potential application of MDLs for multi-channel operation in densely integrated Si-photonics.
