description The 2 &#x00B5;m waveband is capable of enabling pervasive applications. The demonstration of the hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber and the thulium-doped fiber amplifier has highlighted the fiber propagation and amplification aspects of fiber communications, indicating its potential as an adjunct to present communication infrastructure at the O&#x002F;C bands. The above is especially imperative given the current concerns with regards to the upper bandwidth limit of the single-mode fiber. Furthermore, the waveband could facilitate many more applications such as LIDAR and free-space communication. However, water absorption (OH<sup>-</sup>) is high at most of the 2 &#x03BC;m waveband and this will impact the optical insertion loss of applications implemented in the wavelength region. The relative low water absorption region of the waveband falls within 1950 &#x2013; 2000 nm. As such, the development of a hybrid&#x002F;heterogeneous III-V&#x002F;silicon laser source that operates within the region is important for 2 &#x00B5;m silicon photonics.
