摘要:
A light source is based on a combination of silicon and calcium fluoride (CaF2). The silicon and the calcium fluoride need not be pure, but may be doped, or even alloyed, to control their electrical and /or physical properties. Preferably the light source employs interleaved portions, e.g., arranged as a multilayer structure, of silicon (109) and calcium fluoride (107, 111 ) and operates using intersubband transitions in the conduction band so as to emit light in the near infrared spectral range. The light source may be arranged so as to form a quantum cascade laser, a ring resonator laser, a waveguide optical amplifier.

A silicon-based, IC-compatible luminescent diode (LED) or laser diode (LD) has a light-emitting layer based on semiconductor ruthenium silicide (Ru2Si3) on silicon for the near infrared wavelength range around 1.5 νm. This component has an epitaxial Si/Ru2Si3Si or Si/Ru2Si3 heterostructure with band discontinuities of more than 0.05 eV for electrons or holes in order to achieve charge carrier confinement and thus an efficient light yield at room temperature.
摘要:
A semiconductor laser element 1 according to the present invention includes a window region 23 including a disordered portion formed by diffusion of a group-III vacancy, and a non-window region 24 including an active layer 15 of a quantum well structure, and has the disordered portion formed by providing on the window region 23 a promoting film that absorbs a predetermined atom and promotes the diffusion of group-III vacancy. An impurity that preferentially substitutes a group-V site is doped in a layer near the active layer 15, and a difference between an energy band gap in the window region and an energy band gap in the non-window region is equal to or larger than 50 meV.

A laser structure includes at least one active layer having doped Ge so as to produce light emissions at approximately 1550nm from the direct band gap of Ge. A first confinement structure is positioned on a top region of the at least one active layer. A second confinement structure is positioned on a bottom region the at least one active layer.
