Gain and geometrical considerations in planar optoelectronic circuits

INTEREST IN OPTOELECTRONIC CIRCUITS iS stimulated by Several factors; (a) extreme compactness, (b) present capability for fabrication in large arrays, (c) potential low cost, (d) low power consumption, (e) inherent state indication, (f) electrical isolation available, and (g) capacity for large factors are related to the fact that optoelectronic networks gain or high fan-in and fan-out in logic circuits.
