Abstract
- We describe the observation of stimulated emissions by current injections into a silicon quantum well. The device consists of a free standing membrane with a distributed feedback resonant cavity fabricated by state-of-the-art silicon processes. The emission spectra have multimode structures peaked in the near-infrared region above the submilliampere threshold currents at room temperatures. Consequently, electronics and photonics should be able to be converged on chips by using silicon quantum well laser diodes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
