Advances in InP-based optoelectronic devices and circuits for optical communication, interconnection and signal processing

Integration technology is indispensable for improving device performance, functionality and cost reduction. Recent progress of monolithic and hybrid integration in InP-based optoelectronics for applications to telecommunication, interconnection and signal-processing systems is described. Towards further increases of system throughput in the 21st century, novel device principles are desired to be explored by a variety of physics in InP-based materials. An approach to develop ultrafast optoelectronic devices for Terabit/sec systems is discussed.
