ABSTRACT:
A hybrid optoelectronic device and method of producing the hybrid device in which the hybrid device includes a substrate with an input region configured to accept input light, a sol-gel glass multimode interference region coupled to and contiguous with the input region and configured to accept and replicate the input light as multiple self-images, and a sol-gel glass output region contiguous with the multimode region and configured to accept and to output the multiple self-images. Alternatively, the hybrid optoelectronic device includes a substrate with a photoelectronic device, a surface resonator including a light-emitting part of the photelectronic device and configured to resonate light from the photoelectronic device to produce a laser light, and a grating outcoupler contiguous with the surface resonator and configured to diffract the laser light outward from the grating outcoupler and to electrically vary an index of refraction of the outcoupler and change a direction of the diffracted laser light.
