ABSTRACT:
Interleaved arrays of photoelectronic devices are fabricated utilizing one-step epitaxial growth of all active layers and simple planar processing. Exemplary arrays include interleaved LED transmitters and PIN photodiode receivers that operate at the same wavelength on light that enters the PINs and exits the LEDs along opposite but parallel paths and interleaved arrays of LED transmitters that emit light at two different wavelengths.
