Abstract
The University of Central Florida invention is a device that
incorporates a conventional laser monolithically integrated with a totally
undoped semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) that can produce more than 20dB
of optical gain in an overall length of less than 100 µm. A 2-D array of such
devices can easily be flip-chip bonded onto a silicon photonic integrated
circuit (PIC) for applications such as high power free-space communications.
