“…By the monolithic integration one may fully enjoy the economics of scale promised by silicon photonics. For applications such as on‐chip interconnect, the required number of optical channels may exceed 1000 to reach a total bandwidth of around 10 Tbit/s by assuming 10 Gbit/s per channel . Such large number of lasers may only be met economically by a monolithic integration approach.…”

Silicon does not emit light efficiently, therefore the integration of other light-emitting materials is highly demanded for silicon photonic integrated circuits. A number of integration approaches have been extensively explored in the past decade. Here, the most recent progress in this field is reviewed, covering the integration approaches of III-V-to-silicon bonding, transfer printing, epitaxial growth and the use of colloidal quantum dots. The basic approaches to create waveguide-coupled on-chip light sources for different application scenarios are discussed, both for silicon and silicon nitride based waveguides. A selection of recent representative device demonstrations is presented, including high speed DFB lasers, ultra-dense comb lasers, short (850nm) and long (2.3μm) wavelength lasers, wide-band LEDs, monolithic O-band lasers and micro-disk lasers operating in the visible. The challenges and opportunities of these approaches are discussed.
