Abstract:
A laser structure comprising metamorphic InGaAsP layer and InGaAs quantum wells on a non-inclined Si(001) substrate with relaxed Ge buffer layer has been grown for the first time by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). The optically pumped lasers exhibit stimulated emission at a wavelength of 1.3 $\mu$m. At liquid-nitrogen temperature, the threshold power density of pumping at 0.8 $\mu$m amounted to 250 kW/cm$^2$.
