HYBRID LASERS

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide electrically pumped hybrid semiconductor lasers that are capable of being integrated into and with silicon-based CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) devices. Hybrid laser active regions are comprised of multiple quantum wells or quantum dots. Devices according to embodiments of the invention are capable of being used to transfer data in and around personal computers, servers, and data centers as well as for longer-range data transmission.
