Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated ultralow-power consumption photonics devices and their integrations aiming at optical interconnections in Si-LSI circuits since the power consumption in metal wires will be bottleneck of high-speed operation in future. As the results, we successfully realized semiconductor lasers based on semiconductor membrane structure of our proposal and demonstrated high-speed and ultralow-power consumption operation, i.e. almost an order of magnitude lower than that of semiconductor lasers used in optical fiber communications. Moreover, photodiodes based on the semiconductor membrane structure were realized and an integration with the membrane laser was also demonstrated.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
考案した半導体レーザ薄膜構造が、現在ファイバ通信に実用化されている半導体レーザより1桁低い消費電力で毎秒20ギガビットの超高速直接変調動作が可能であることを実証すると共に、同様の半導体薄膜構造の光検出器の実現と集積化を達成したものであり、超高速動作可能な超低消費電力光集積回路の可能性を切り開いたものとして学術的意義は深く、高性能化が要望される集積回路への応用可能性を示した点で社会的意義を有している。
