Abstract

Thin film Ge on Si is a potential active material candidate for electrically pumped monolithically integrated Si-based light emitters. Theoretical analysis has shown that a combination of strain and n-type doping can modify the band structure of Ge so that it exhibits direct bandgap properties. Direct band-to- band optical transition is observed from the room temperature photoluminescence at around 1550nm. An optical bleaching ef- fect occurring in lock-in pump-probe measurements indicates a precursor to optical net gain.
