Quantum Dot Lasers on Silicon: Nonlinear Properties, Dynamics, and Applications

This book provides guidelines and design rules for developing high-performance, low-cost, and energy-efficient quantum-dot (QD) lasers for silicon photonic integrated circuits (PIC), optical frequency comb generation, and quantum information systems. To this end, the nonlinear properties and dynamics of QD lasers on silicon are investigated in depth by both theoretical analysis and experiment.

This book aims at addressing four issues encountered in developing silicon PIC:

1) The instabil...
