In‐Plane 1.5 µm Distributed Feedback Lasers Selectively Grown on (001) SOI (Laser Photonics Rev. 18(1)/2024)

In-Plane 1.5 µm Distributed Feedback Lasers Selectively Grown on (001) SOI In article number 2300549, Kei May Lau and colleagues present efficient and in-plane III–V distributed feedback (DFB) lasers selectively grown on (001) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers. This approach enables the placement of lasers exactly where they are needed in the photonic integrated circuit in an elegant, scalable, and low-cost manner. The results pave the way towards photonic integration with efficient coupling between lasers and waveguides.
