Abstract:

Semiconductor lasers or laser diodes a re essential in many applications where compact\, coherent\, and efficient light sources are needed\, such as in telecom\, datacom\, sensing\, and e specially LiDAR systems. A major benefit to these laser diodes is the abil ity to integrate them with metasurfaces or photonic integrated circuit (PI C) components through hybrid or heterogeneous integration. III-V materials such as Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) and Indium Phosphide (InP) are popular ma terial choices for these laser diodes due to their direct bandgaps and hig h efficiency. I will present optoelectronic characterization of several la ser diodes\, and a method for using silver epoxy to bond these laser diode s to silicon dies and compare behavior before and after bonding. Additiona lly\, I will talk about the design of the metasurfaces and their beam defl ection properties for the solid-state LiDAR systems.
