Abstract

Summary form only given. We report the first successful realization of a normal-incidence nipi-modulator monolithically integrated with a special two-component photoconductive switch into a smart pixel. Previously we demonstrated that our special photoconductive switch provides high output currents suitable to drive directly either an electrooptical modulator or a surface emitting vertical cavity laser in hybrid versions of novel smart pixels.
