The silicon-based optical interconnect technology is an effective means for breaking the current bottleneck of the electronic interconnects
and the applicable integrated light sources are of great significance to the reduction of size and power consumption of silicon chips.We have seen a series of important breakthroughs in lasers integrated on silicon chips in the past decade or more
and the III-V/Si hybrid integrated laser is one of the most possible solutions among them to be actually applied in the near future.In this paper
we briefly describe its research status
focusing on the research progress and respective problems of the III-V/Si hybrid integrated lasers
including the III-V/Si adhesively bonded laser and the III-V/Si flip-chip laser.Finally
we predict the development orientation of the lasers integrated on silicon.
