"III-V devices can be efficiently coupled with Si elements by direct epitaxy. The integration strategy can be easily applied to the integration of various III-V devices and Si-based components, thereby enabling the ultimate goal of integrating photonics with electronics on silicon photonics platform for data communications...photonic integrated circuits and fully integrated Si-photonics, light coupling between III-V lasers and Si components can be realized through this method"
