An electrically pumped germanium laser

Opt Express. 2012 May 7;20(10):11316-20. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.011316.

Abstract

Electrically pumped lasing from Germanium-on-Silicon pnn heterojunction diode structures is demonstrated. Room temperature multimode laser with 1mW output power is measured. Phosphorous doping in Germanium at a concentration over 4x1019cm-3 is achieved. A Germanium gain spectrum of nearly 200nm is observed.
