Abstract: An edge emitting laser (EEL) device includes a substrate, an n-type buffer layer, a first n-type cladding layer, a grating layer, a spacer layer, a lower confinement unit, an active layer, an upper confinement unit, a p-type cladding layer, a tunnel junction layer and a second n-type cladding layer sequentially arranged from bottom to top. The tunnel junction layer can stop an etching process from continuing to form the second n-type cladding layer into a predetermined ridge structure and converting a part of the p-type cladding layer into the n-type cladding layer to reduce series resistance of the EEL device. Therefore, the optical field and active layer tend to be coupled at the middle of the active layer, the lower half of the active layer can be utilized effectively, and the optical field is near to the grating layer to achieve better optical field/grating coupling efficiency and lower threshold current.

Abstract: SR-IOV (single root IO virtualization) capable PCIe devices can implement virtual functions (VFs) that are assigned to VMs running on a host machine, thereby speeding IO operation by writing directly to the VMs' memory while bypassing the hypervisor managing the VMs. As such, VFs thwart the dirty page tracking that hypervisors use to minimize VM downtime when the VM is migrated between hosts. The SR-IOV PCIe devices can help resolve this problem by maintaining dirty page tracking data for VMs running on the host machine. The SR-IOV PCIe devices bypassing the hypervisor while writing into a memory page of the VM can set the dirty page tracking data to indicate the memory pages that are dirty (i.e., written to by the VF), and can provide access to the dirty page tracking data. The hypervisor can thereby obtain and use the dirty page tracking data.
