ABSTRACT:
A monolithic transceiver that includes both a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) and a resonant cavity photodetector (RCPD) formed therein. The monolithic transceiver may also be an array of VCSEL and RCPD devices. The monolithic transceiver may be an integrated circuit, and may include a substrate layer. Both the vertical cavity surface emitting laser and the resonant cavity photodetector may be grown or otherwise formed on the substrate layer using standard processing techniques. Because standard processing techniques may be used, the present invention may provide a highly manufacturable transceiver, with independently controlled laser and photodetector characteristics.
