Abstract
A monolithic wavelength converter has been constructed in the GaAlAs alloy system which comprises a wide gap emitter phototransistor and a double heterojunction (DH) light emitting diode (LED) in a bifacial configuration. The liquid phase epitaxy (LPE)-grown structure is capable of efficiently converting IR light with λ < 870 nm into the red spectral range in conjunction with optical power amplification.
