The significant progress of GeSn material development has enabled a feasible solution to the long-desired monolithically integrated lasers on the Si platform. While there are many reports focused on optically pumped lasers, GeSn lasers through electrical injection have not been experimentally achieved yet. In this work, we report the first demonstration of electrically injected GeSn lasers on Si. A GeSn/SiGeSn heterostructure diode grown on a Si substrate was fabricated into ridge waveguide laser devices and tested under pulsed conditions. Special considerations were given for the structure design to ensure effective carrier confinement and optical confinement that lead to lasing. Lasing was observed at temperatures from 10 to 100 K with emission peaks at around 2300 nm. The minimum threshold of 598 A/cm2 was recorded at 10 K and the threshold increased to 842 A/cm2 at 77 K. The spectral linewidth of a single peak was measured as small as 0.13 nm (0.06 meV). The maximum characteristic temperature was extracted as 99 K over the temperature range of 10-77 K. |
