link includes III-V compound-based laser sources and photodetectors, and silicon-on-
insulator-based strip waveguides. The heterogeneous integration of an InP-based microdisk
laser with a silicon waveguide using SiO/sub 2/-SiO/sub 2/molecular bonding and
nanofabrication procedures is emphasized. The technological procedure is described and
first experimental results show that, with an adequate configuration, 35% of light could be …
