Origin of the Diffusion-Related Optical Degradation of 1.3 μm Inas QD-LDs Epitaxially Grown on Silicon Substrate

Matteo Buffolo et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the origin of the optical degradation of InAs quantum dot laser diodes epitaxially grown on silicon. The temperature acceleration of the degradation process is quantitatively evaluated through constant-current stress experiments at different temperatures. The results suggest that the degradation is related to the recombination-enhanced diffusion of Be, the p-type dopant, or the lattice defects limiting Be diffusion. These findings provide new insights on the microscopic origin of the gradual optical degradation of quantum-dot lasers and have wide application in silicon photonics.

Theoretical analysis and modelling of degradation for III-V lasers on Si

Jianzhuo Liu et al.

Summary: InAs/GaAs quantum-dot (QD) lasers offer a promising method for Si-based on-chip light sources. However, the integration of III-V materials on Si introduces a high density of threading dislocations (TDs), which limits the lifetime of the laser device. In this study, a kinetic model was proposed to simulate the degradation process caused by TDs in the early stage of laser operation. By using a rate equation model, the current density in the wetting layer, where the TDs concentrate, was calculated. The rate of degradation of QD lasers with different cavity lengths and quantum-well lasers directly grown on Si substrates was compared by varying the fitting parameters in the calculation of current densities in the kinetic model.

Impact of a defect trapping layer on the reliability of 1.3 μm quantum dot laser diodes grown on silicon

M. Zenari et al.

Summary: This paper studied the impact of a defect trapping layer on the degradation kinetics of 1.3 μm quantum dot laser diodes for silicon photonics. The results demonstrate that the inclusion of trapping layers can improve the performance and reliability of the devices, resulting in a slower degradation of the threshold current and a lower concentration of misfit dislocations.

Reduced dislocation growth leads to long lifetime InAs quantum dot lasers on silicon at high temperatures

Jennifer Selvidge et al.

Summary: The study finds that adding trapping layer filters at either 80 nm or 180 nm from the active region in epitaxially integrated InAs quantum dot lasers on on-axis silicon substrates can significantly reduce device degradation at 60 degrees C, enhancing reliability. Data after 3000 hours suggest that incorporating trapping layers at a shorter distance from the active region (80 nm) is more effective than incorporating these layers further away.

Identification of dislocation-related and point-defects in III-As layers for silicon photonics applications

Michele Zenari et al.

Summary: This study aims to identify, analyze and compare defects in III-As materials based on dislocation density and the presence/absence of quantum dots. Results show that the type and location of defects in III-As materials vary when grown on different substrates with varying dislocation densities.
