Monolithic integration of AlGaAs distributed Bragg reflectors on virtual Ge substrates via aspect ratio trapping

Over the past two decades, researchers have devoted great efforts on Si photonics to overcome the communication bottleneck of integrated circuits. In order to realize short-reach optical interconnects, excellent performance has been achieved so far on waveguides, modulators and detectors, which use...
