Planar, compatible OEIC's based on multiquantum well structures

An optoelectronic integrated-circuit (OEIC) structure, in which a variety of devices having different functions is built from a common multiquantum-well structure, is discussed. Basic operation of both a lateral-current-injection laser and a field-effect transistor is demonstrated using essentially the same AlGaAs/GaAs multiquantum-well structures.<
