Abstract :
It has been just ten years since the first optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) was demonstrated. Since then various OEIC´s, such as integration of a laser diode and its driving circuit and that of a photodetector and an amplifier, have been fabricated and presented. The OEIC´s, however, have not been applied to practical use since they have not exhibited overwhelming advantages compared to conventional discrete circuits. The authors present the current problems of OEIC´s, focusing especially on InGaAsP/InP OEIC´s for lightwave communication systems
