Abstract

The development of a Si-based light source has attracted a high level of attention due to its potential unique advantages. For one, the monolithic integration of photonics on on-chip level along with the microelectronics devices would enhance the data processing rate. Additionally the cost per transmitted/processed information capacity can be significantly reduced.
