Abstract
An epitaxially integrated 1.5 to 1 μm up-conversion device is reported. The device consists of a serially connected In0.53Ga0.47As photodiode and InAs0.1P 0.9 light emitting diode grown on InP. The device operation relies first on detecting a 1.5 μm signal by the photodiode and secondly on driving the emitter by the resulting photocurrent, thus achieving the up-conversion
