Abstract :
Summary form only given. We have designed a demonstration chip based on monolithic integration of GaAs electronics, MSM and OPFET detectors, and LEDs in the form of a seven-pixel array. The chip was fabricated by a group at MIT as part of their OPTOCHIP process. Our chip allows us to perform proof-of-concept demonstrations of several of the proposed applications. Characterization and performance of the system in an edge detection application will be presented.
