Abstract
Silicon-on-chip laser that are monolithically integrated onto a silicon wafer is an essential element to realize a long-time dream of integrating photonics and electronics on a same silicon platform. In this talk, we will review the state-of-the art silicon-on-chip laser technologies and discuss the role of the laser volume and nano-structure as key designing parameter. Then, the existing and emerging applications of silicon-on-chip laser will be presented, including communications for future computers, portable disease diagnosis chips, and silicon-on-chip single-photon sources.
 
Short Bio
