- The integration of efficient laser sources on silicon would enable fully integrated silicon photonic circuits with a high degree of functionality and performance complexity for many applications [1]. Different integration concepts have therefore been suggested, where one such technique is the heterogeneous integration of a vertical-cavity laser (VCL), referred to as a hybrid VCL. It is promising as it has potential to offer low drive currents, high modulation bandwidths, and small footprint [2-4]. In-plane emission with waveguide-coupling can be achieved by an intra-cavity waveguide embossed with a weak diffraction grating, as an example [5]. Integration of such short-wavelength laser sources on a silicon-nitride (SiN) waveguide platform on silicon may enable fully integrated silicon photonic circuits for applications not only in short-reach optical interconnects but also in life science and bio-photonics. As a first step in realizing short-wavelength hybrid VCLs with in-plane emission coupled to a SiN waveguide, we have developed a technique to produce high performance 850-nm hybrid VCLs with out-of-plane emission. It is based on adhesive bonding of epitaxial AlGaAs-material onto a dielectric distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) on silicon [6-8]. We have fabricated devices with surface emission having sub-mA threshold current, >2 mW output power, and 25 Gbit/s modulation speed [8]. To be able to demonstrate in-plane emission with SiN waveguide coupling from our hybrid 850-nm VCLs, our next step is to add a SiN waveguide structure with embossed grating on top of the dielectric DBR, before adhesively bonding the AlGaAs-material. So far, based on numerical simulations, we have designed a device that is predicted to yield a slope efficiency of ~0.3 W/A at 25 °C for the light coupled to a single-mode waveguide, while maintaining a sub-mA threshold current for the lasing [9].
