硅是电子产品的卓越材料，但由于缺乏高效的光发射器和激光器，因此不用于光源。在这篇综述中，我将讨论为什么硅不是激光材料的物理原因和使它产生激光的一些方法。我将从体硅开始，然后我将讨论硅纳米晶体和Er 3+耦合硅纳米晶体，在过去已经取得了重大进展，并可以在不久的将来预期。最后，我将对硅激光做一个乐观的总结。
Silicon, the material par excellence for electronics, is not used for light sources because of the lack of efficient light emitters and lasers. In this review, I will discuss the physical reasons why silicon is not a laser material and some approaches to make it lasing. I will start with bulk silicon, then I will discuss silicon nanocrystals and Er3+-coupled silicon nanocrystals, where significant advances have been made in the past and can be expected in the near future. I will conclude with an optimistic note on silicon lasing.
