Abstract

We report silicon LEDs showing light emission from 1.1 to 1.6 μm and demonstrate optical gain by incorporating optically active impurities. Nano-engineering enables room temperature operation. As one exemplar, we show that erbium, with local strain engineering provides useful optical emission and gain at 1.5 μm.
