Electrically pumped hybrid evanescent Si/InGaAsP lasers.

Hybrid Si/III-V, Fabry-Perot evanescent lasers are demonstrated, utilizing InGaAsP as the III-V gain material for the first time to our knowledge. The lasing threshold current of 300-mum-long devices was as low as 24 mA, with a maximal single facet output power of 4.2 mW at 15 degrees C.
