Abstract

An epitaxial deposition process is used to deposit materials that can be crystallized lattice matched to gallium arsenide onto an indium phosphide crystalline wafer. A material of this kind forms a metamorphic layer. Metamorphic layers of this kind constitute two semiconductor Bragg mirrors to form resonant cavities of surface emitting lasers of a matrix. This matrix is consolidated by a silicon support. Applications include optical telecommunications.
