We report on InP-based photonic crystal lasers operating at 1.585μm at room temperature, integrated with and evanescently coupled to silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguides. By optically pumping at 1.18μm through the SOI wires, pulsed laser emission from line defect photonic crystal waveguides accurately aligned (<30nm) to the silicon circuitry is demonstrated.
