Direct fabrication of lasers on silicon suggests solution to chip-production problem

Brian Corbett

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/Debate

Abstract

The lack of methods for preparing miniature lasers directly on silicon wafers is holding back photonic technology in a range of applications, including machine learning. The solution could be to construct lasers in nanoscale trenches.
