Whispering Gallery Mode Resonances from Ge Micro-Disks on Suspended Beams
Ge is considered to be one of the most promising materials for realizing full monolithic integration of a light source on a silicon (Si) photonic chip. Tensile-strain is required to convert Ge into an optical gain material and to reduce the pumping required for population inversion. Several methods...
