Highly compact microlasers integrated on silicon, emitting in the 1.3-1.6μm range are important building blocks for future photonic integrated circuits that could be developed for applications such as optical interconnects. In-plane emission and low threshold are desired for these devices, to be compatible with dense photonic integration. In this presentation, we report on the fabrication of InP membrane laser micro-sources integrated on a silicon wafer, based on 2D Photonic Crystal (PC) structures. The PC consists in a triangular lattice of holes formed in the thin membrane. The basic integration procedure includes wafer scale InP transfer onto silicon via SiO2-SiO2 bonding and conventional nanofabrication technologies (see figure 1).
