Abstract :
We report on monolithically integrated 1 × 12 arrays of In
0.53Ga
0.47As p-i-n detectors and InGaAsP LED\´s for use in long-wavelength optical communication system applications. The detectors are sensitive in the wavelength region of

m, and the LED\´s emit at 1.30 μm. The devices utilize Si V-block fiber array connectors with one end polished at a 45° angle with respect to the fiber axis such that the optical path is bent by 90° to afford coupling laterally to the photonic device. The resultant structures are built in a 14-pin dual-in-line (DIP) compact metal package, and are capable of operation at least up to 200 Mbit/s.
