    Abstract—We have performed a numerical and experimental analysis of the thermal behavior of electrically injected microdisk lasers that are defined in an InGaAsP-based thin film bonded on top of a silicon wafer. Both the turn-on as well as the pulsed-regime temperature evolution in the lasing region was simulated using the finite-element method. The simulation results are in good agreement with experimental data, which was extracted from the broadening of the time-averaged emission spectra. Lasing at room temperature was only possible in pulsed regime due to the high thermal resistance (10 K/mW). Some strategies to decrease the thermal resistance of the microdisk lasers are proposed and discussed.

    A standard deviation in lasing wavelength lower than 500pm is characterized on nominally identical and optically-pumped microdisk lasers, heterogeneously integrated on the same SOI circuit. This lasing wavelength uniformity is obtained using electron-beam lithography

    High-quality fully relaxed In0.65Ga0.35As layers grown on InP using the paramorphic approach

    International audienceThin and thick fully relaxed In 0.65 Ga 0.35 As layers have been grown on InP substrates 0.81% misfit, with high structural and high optoelectronic quality at an operating wavelength of 2.0 m. Full relaxation is achieved, using the paramorphic approach, by growing the In 0.65 Ga 0.35 As layers lattice matched to an InAs 0.25 P 0.75 seed membrane of predetermined lattice parameter. The InAs 0.25 P 0.75 layer was originally grown pseudomorphically strained on the InP substrate before being separated and elastically relaxed using surface micromachining
