Mid-Infrared High-Power InGaAsSb/AlGaInAsSb Multiple-Quantum-Well Laser Diodes Around 2.9 μm by Hongguang Yu, Chengao Yang, Yihang Chen, Jianmei Shi, Juntian Cao, Zhengqi Geng, Zhiyuan Wang, Haoran Wen, Enquan Zhang, Yu Zhang, Hao Tan, Donghai Wu, Yingqiang Xu, Haiqiao Ni, Zhichuan Niu

“…However, the laser’s performance significantly degrades as the emission wavelength increases, primarily due to severe quantum-well hole leakage and significant non-radiative recombination. In this paper, we put up an active region with a high valence band offset and excellent crystalline quality with high luminescence to improve the laser’s performance. …”

Design and validation of a-SiC/SiN hybrid photonic platform for integrated quantum photonics by Naresh Sharma, Zizheng Li, Bruno Lopez-Rodriguez, Joey Vrugt, Stijn van der Waal, Luozhen Li, Roald van der Kolk, Philip J Poole, Dan Dalacu, Iman Esmaeil Zadeh

“…For example, the thin-film silicon nitride (SiN) platform provides ultra-low loss on the order of 0.1 dB m ^−1 , but is incompatible with dense integration , requiring large bending radii. On the other hand, silicon on insulator offers a high refractive index contrast for dense integration but has a high absorption coefficient at the emission wavelengths (800–970 nm) of state-of-the-art QDs. …”
