Abstract
A hybrid light amplifier consisting of a GaAs-GaAlAs widegap phototransistor as light detector and a d.h. laser as light emitter has been realised. Amplification up to 25 dB has been achieved. Fastest turn-on and turn-off times were 16 ns and 24 ns, respectively. A monolithically integrated amplifier structure is proposed.
