Direct optical coupling between optoelectronic component integrated circuit and light waveguide has optical input coupling unit integrated into optoelectronic component integrated circuit

摘要

The direct optical coupling device has an optical input coupling unit (8) integrated into the optoelectronic component (6), which is in the form of an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit contains exclusively optoelectronic functional elements and the integrated optical input coupling unit has a laser diode, a light emitting diode, a phototransistor or a photodiode.
