Abstract

The critical design issues for uni polar silicon quantum-well inter subband lasers are investigated in this paper. Group IV lasing at near-infrared and middle-infrared wavelengths is analyzed for surface-emitting and edge-emitting geometries. Calculations show feasibility of SiGe/Si and SiGeC/Si lasing. Silicon-on-insulator structures are proposed for indexguided lasers, vertical-cavity lasers and micro-cavity lasers.
