Abstract :
An approach to laser-based optoelectronic integration is described. It is shown that by using a single epitaxial growth structure and a common processing sequence, all the electrical and optical devices required for a complete optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) are realized. The demonstrated individual device performance and the implementation of an integrated combination of devices are discussed. Such applications as the implementation of a basic building block for a 2×2 smart-pixel switching node are discussed. A comparison to other laser- and modulator-based approaches is presented
