Fabrication of Single Crystal Gallium Phosphide Thin Films on Glass

Abstract Due to its high refractive index and low absorption coefficient, gallium phosphide is an ideal material for photonic structures targeted at the visible wavelengths. However, these properties are only realized with high quality epitaxial growth, which limits substrate choice and thus possibl...
