The missing piece in the jigsaw of silicon photonics is a light source that can be easily incorporated into the standard silicon fabrication process. Recent advances in the development of atomically thin layers of semiconducting transition metal dichalogenides (TMDs), with direct bandgaps in the near-infrared region, have opened up new possibilities for addressing this need. Here, we report a unique silicon laser source that employs molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) as a gain material in a photonic crystal nanocavity resonator, fabricated in silicon-on-insulator. We demonstrate optically pumped MoTe2-on-silicon devices lasing at 1305 nm, i.e. in the centre of the O-band used in optical communications, operating in the continuous-wave (CW) regime, at room temperature and with a threshold power density as low as 1.5 kW/cm2. This 2D-on-silicon geometry offers the promise of an integrated low-cost electrically pumped nanoscale silicon light source, thereby adding an essential building block to the silicon photonics platform.
Single photon emitters in silicon carbide (SiC) are attracting attention as quantum photonic systems. However, to achieve scalable devices it is essential to generate single photon emitters at desired locations on demand. Here we report the controlle
Nonlinear topological photonic and phononic systems have recently aroused intense interests in exploring new phenomena that have no counterparts in electronic systems. The squeezed bosonic interaction in these systems is particularly interesting, bec
Silicon photonics enables wafer-scale integration of optical functionalities on chip. A silicon-based laser frequency combs could significantly expand the applications of silicon photonics, by providing integrated sources of mutually coherent laser l
Electrically-pumped lasers directly grown on silicon are key devices interfacing silicon microelectronics and photonics. We report here, for the first time, an electrically-pumped, room-temperature, continuous-wave (CW) and single-mode distributed fe
We present the optoelectronic characterization of two graphene/silicon Schottky junctions, fabricated by transferring CVD-graphene on flat and nanotip-patterned n-Si substrates, respectively. We demonstrate record photo responsivity, exceeding 2.5 A/
