ABSTRACT:
There is provided an integrated semiconductor source-detector matrix in which solid state photonic diodes are configured as LEDs, disposed on a substrate and coupled to electronic circuits so that the diodes can be individually driven to emit light or to detect light as may be desired. Providing an integrated matrix of light source (emitter) and light sensor units disposed in close proximity results in each unit having nearly coextensive fields of view and illumination. Apparatus, such as bar code and optical readers utilizing such a matrix are shown, and are insensitive to the diffusion and laminate effects. In alternate embodiments the matrix is coupled to remote sensors or another similar matrix to provide optical communication and interchange devices having high bandwidth.
