One of the key components of Si photonics is an all integrated laser light source emitting in the C-band at 1550 nm. A promising approach is using highly doped tensile strained germanium. Optical gain in this material system has been shown [1]. We processed structures with several cavity lengths to investigate the edge- emitted light from the direct band-gap transitions. The system is pumped with a Q-switched laser at 1054nm with 70 ns pulses and the emitted light is spectrally resolved with a double monochromator and detected with a liquid nitrogen cooled Ge-detector.
