Abstract :
It is noted that the monolithic integration of optical and electronic devices on a single chip, optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs), represents an emerging device technology with potential to meet a broad range of future telecommunications and computing systems needs. Nevertheless, the author sees changes occurring with continuing advances in device design and fabrication technologies, as well as in materials growth and processing technologies, that are providing a strong technology push for continued research on OEICs. OEIC technology is reviewed, with emphasis on materials issues, transmitters, and receivers.<>
