ABSTRACT:
An optoelectronic transmission and reception device includes an optical transmitter inserted into a silicon wafer as a laser chip composed of III/V compound semiconductor material, an optical receiver inserted into the silicon wafer as a reception diode chip composed of III/V compound semiconductor material or which is monolithically integrated into the silicon wafer as a metal-semiconductor diode. A coupling optics for connection to an optical fiber is monolithically integrated into the silicon wafer, as is a controller that includes a drive circuit for the transmitter and a pre-amplifier circuit for the receiver, a wavelength selective beam splitter and light wave guides for light guidance. The device is particularly useful as a bi-directional transmission and reception module.
