Limited by the small index contrast of conventional vertical epitaxy, light confinement in the vertical direction is often achieved via undercutting sacrificial layers or transferring onto foreign low-index substrates. In contrast, selective lateral heteroepitaxy enables the architecture of Ⅲ–Ⅴ-on-insulator and supports strong vertical mode confinement.展开更多
