Abstract
An optoelectronic device, including: a laser source, including a semiconductor membrane, which rests on a first dielectric layer, and which is formed from a lateral segment doped n-type, a lateral segment doped p-type, and an optically active central segment located between and in contact with the doped lateral segments to form a lateral p-i-n junction lying parallel to the main plane. The semiconductor membrane is produced based on crystalline GaAs, the central segment includes GaAs-based quantum dots, and the doped lateral segments are produced based on AlxGa1-xAs with a proportion of aluminium x comprised between 0.05 and 0.30.

An optoelectronic device, comprising:
- a carrier substrate, comprising:
- a first dielectric layer, which is made of an electrically insulating material, and which forms a top side of the carrier substrate lying in a main plane;
- a laser source, comprising:
- a semiconductor membrane, which rests on the first dielectric layer, and which is formed from a lateral segment doped n-type, a lateral segment doped p-type, and an optically active central segment located between and in contact with the doped lateral segments to form a lateral p-i-n junction lying parallel to the main plane;
- a second dielectric layer, which is made of an electrically insulating material, and which covers the semiconductor membrane;
- electrodes, which rest on the doped lateral segments, and which thus ensure lateral injection of charge carriers into the central segment;
- characterized in that wherein the semiconductor membrane is produced based on crystalline GaAs,
- the central segment comprising GaAs-based quantum dots, and
- the doped lateral segments being produced based on AlxGal-xAs with a proportion of aluminium x comprised between 0.05 and 0.30.
