The development of optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) on silicon using the advanced complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology is one of the most important challenges in photonics today. However the realization of the key component, a reliable electrically pumped semiconductor laser grown on silicon, remains a huge challenge. The novel dilute nitride material Ga(NAsP) is a very promising candidate to fill this gap. Because of its direct nature and the capability for pseudomorphical growth on exactly oriented (001) silicon substrate Ga(NAsP) is perfectly qualified as an active material for lasers on silicon. Here we investigate the optical properties of Ga(NAsP) samples grown lattice matched on Si substrates using time-resolved photoluminescence and optical gain spectroscopy. The results indicate a significant impact of disorder-induced localization effects, which depends strongly on N content and growth conditions. However, optical gain measurements reveal high modal gain values at room temperature and demonstrate the suitability of Ga(NAsP) for laser devices on silicon.
