Quantum Dots for Photonic Integrated Circuits: From Isolation-Free to Amplitude Noise Squeezing

Abstract

This paper reports on an InAs/GaAs quantum-dot (QD) laser for uncooled and isolation-free photonic integrated circuits. All lasing properties are improved with the increase of temperature by applying a design of optical wavelength detuning. The QD laser can also be used for squeezed light generation.
