Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Silicon photonics is a promising energy-efficient and cost-effective platform for optical integrated circuits. However, due to its indirect bandgap silicon cannot be used to produce effective light sources. An attractive solution to this is heterogeneous integration of the GaAs-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) on silicon. The GaAs-based VCSEL has proven to be both high-speed and energy efficient, with data rates above 70 Gb/s and less than 100 fJ/bit dissipated power up to 50 Gb/s.By employing ultra-thin divinylsiloxane-is-benzocyclobutene (DVS-BCB) adhesive bonding a GaAs-based “half-VCSEL” with a gain region and a top distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) has been attached to a dielectric DBR on silicon. This creates a hybrid cavity where the standing-wave optical field is extending into both the silicon and GaAs-based parts of the cavity.The hybrid-cavity may eventually enable light to be tapped off to an in-plane waveguide, e.g. using a high contrast grating (HCG) instead of the bottom DBR. Replacing the whole bottom DBR with an HCG also gives the possibility to set the wavelength according to the grating parameters, enabling fabrication of multi-wavelength VCSEL arrays that together with integrated wavelength multiplexers could form 850-nm wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) transmitters.A 9 µm oxide aperture diameter VCSEL has a threshold current of 1.2 mA and a maximum output power of 1.6 mW at ~845 nm. The performance is currently limited by the too small gain-to-resonance detuning and the high thermal impedance.

- We demonstrate a short-wavelength hybrid-cavity vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) heterogeneously integrated on silicon. A GaAs-based “half-VCSEL” has been attached to a dielectric distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) on a silicon wafer using ultra-thin divinylsiloxane-bis-benzocyclobutene (DVS-BCB) adhesive bonding, thereby creating a cavity with the standing-wave optical field extending over the silicon- and GaAs-based parts of the cavity. A 9 µm oxide aperture diameter VCSEL with a threshold current of 1.2 mA produces 1.6 mW optical output power at 6.0 mA bias current with a wavelength of ~845 nm.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present a GaAs-based VCSEL structure, BCB bonded to a Si3N4 waveguide circuit, where one DBR is substituted by a free-standing Si3N4 high-contrast-grating (HCG) reflector realized in the Si3N4 waveguide layer. This design enables solutions for on-chip spectroscopic sensing, and the dense integration of 850-nm WDM data communication transmitters where individual channel wavelengths are set by varying the HCG parameters. RCWA shows that a 300nm-thick Si3N4 HCG with 800nm period and 40% duty cycle reflects strongly (
