A preliminary on-chip integration of GaN-based laser, modulator, and photodetector grown on Si is reported. The modulator integrated into the laser shares same InGaN quantum well active region with photodetector. By varying applied voltage to absorption can be adjusted due changed band bending region, hence threshold current light output power tuned. effectively detect tuned by which opens up a new way for photonic Si.

Abstract Particulate organic matter (POM) is distributed worldwide in high abundance. Although insoluble, it could serve as a redox mediator for microbial reductive dehalogenation and mineral transformation. Quantitative information on the role of POM natural occurrence silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) lacking, but needed to re-evaluate sources AgNPs soils, which are commonly considered derive from anthropogenic inputs. Here we demonstrate that reduces ions under solar irradiation, by producing...
Direct bandgap III-V semiconductor lasers grown on silicon (Si) are highly desired for monolithic integration with Si photonics. Fabrication of a Fabry-Pérot cavity usually includes facet cleavage, however, that is not compatible on-chip photonic integration. Etching as an alternative approach holds great advantage in preparing mirrors no need breaking wafer into bars. However, gallium nitride (GaN) sidewalls prepared by dry etching often have large roughness and damages, which would cause...

The increasing use of silver-containing nanoparticles (NPs) in commercial products has led to NP accumulation the environment and potentially food webs. Identifying uptake pathways different chemical species NPs, such as Ag2S-NP metallic AgNPs, into plants is important understanding their entry chains.
