Abstract
Group IV GeSn double-heterostructure (DHS) lasers offer unique advantages of
a direct bandgap and CMOS compatibility. However, further improvements in laser
performance have been bottlenecked by limited junction properties of GeSn
through conventional epitaxy and wafer bonding. This work leverages
semiconductor grafting to synthesize and characterize optically pumped ridge
edge-emitting lasers (EELs) with an AlGaAs nanomembrane (NM) transfer-printed
onto an epitaxially grown GeSn substrate, interfaced by an ultrathin Al2O3
layer. The grafted AlGaAs/GeSn DHS lasers show a lasing threshold of 11.06 mW
at 77 K and a maximum lasing temperature of 130 K. These results highlight the
potential of the grafting technique for enhancing charge carrier and optical
field confinements, paving the way for room-temperature electrically injected
GeSn lasers.
