A hybrid III-V/SOI resonant-cavity-enhanced photodetector (RCE-PD) structure comprising a high-contrast grating (HCG) reflector, a hybrid grating (HG) reflector, and an air cavity between them, has been proposed and investigated. In the proposed structure, a light absorbing material is integrated as part of the HG reflector, enabling a very compact vertical cavity. Numerical investigations show that a quantum efficiency close to 100 % and a detection linewidth of about 1 nm can be achieved, which are desirable for wavelength division multiplexing applications. Based on these results, a hybrid RCE-PD sample has been fabricated by heterogeneously integrating an InP-based material onto a silicon-on-insulator wafer and has been characterized, which shows a clear enhancement in photo-current at the designed wavelength. This indicates that the HG reflector provides a field enhancement sufficient for RCE-PD operation. In addition, a capability of feasibly selecting the detection wavelength during fabrication as well as a possibility of realizing silicon-integrated bidirectional transceivers are discussed.

A technology called self-aligned selective undercut dry etching processing has been demonstrated for fabricating a highly efficient hybrid optical spot size converter (SSC) on a Si-on-insulator (SOI) template. The process was based on a bonded wafer between the upper InP-based multiple quantum well heterostructure and the lower SOI substrate. After defining the mask on the upper InP-based ridge waveguide, / dry reactive ion etching was then used for selective undercut etching of the Si material from the surrounding materials, forming a vertical waveguide coupler of the optical SSC.

We review our work on ultra-compact III-V/Si DFB lasers and further describe design considerations and challenges associated with electrically pumped hybrid lasers. We conclude with a perspective on DFB lasers with extremely small footprint, a direction for future research with potential applications to densely-packed optical interconnects.
