Infrared Colloidal Quantum Dot Edge Emitting Lasers Integrated on Silicon
In this work, the first monolithic integration of Pb‐chalcogenide CQDs in an edge‐emitting DFB laser cavity onto a Si/SiO2 substrate has been demonstrated. The optimizations of SiO2 layer thickness, engineering of the grating duty cycle, and implementing λ/4 phase shift resulted in the achievement of spectrally pure, single‐mode lasing at 1650 nm with ...
