Abstract

We report on 2.3-µm etched-cavity GaSb-based laser diodes (LDs) epitaxially integrated on on-axis (001)Si and benchmarked against their cleaved facet counterparts. The LDs were grown in two steps. First, a GaSb-on-Si template was grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) before the growth of the LD heterostructure by molecular-beam epitaxy. Different etched-facet geometries operate in continuous wave well above room temperature, and their performance are similar to those of cleaved-cavity LDs. These results show that etching mirrors is a viable route to form laser cavities in the GaSb technology and that MOVPE GaSb-on-Si templates are a suitable platform for optoelectronic devices overgrowth.
