Germanium Laser on Silicon

A laser structure includes at least one active layer having doped Ge so as to produce light emissions at approximately 1550nm from the direct band gap of Ge. A first confinement structure is positioned on a top region of the at least one active layer. A second confinement structure is positioned on a bottom region the at least one active layer.
