    Abstract: The invention describes an integrated-photonics arrangement, implementable in a multi-guide vertical integration (MGVI) structure composed from III-V semiconductors and grown in one epitaxial growth run, allowing for the integration of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and PIN photodetector (PIN) structures within a common wavelength-designated waveguide of the plurality of the vertically integrated wavelength-designated waveguides forming the MGVI structure. The integration includes a wavelength filter integrated between the SOA and PIN to reduce noise within the PIN arising from ASE generated by the SOA. In exemplary embodiments of the invention, the wavelength filter is integrated into MGVI structure either within a common wavelength designated waveguide or within the wavelength-designated waveguide. Further in other embodiments the wavelength filter is provided by a thin-film filter abutting a facet of the integrated-photonics arrangement wherein optical signals are coupled by optical waveguides and/or additional optical elements such as a multimode interference device.

    Abstract: The CMOS field effect transistors, used in microprocessors and other digital VLSI circuits, face major challenges such as thin gate dielectrics leakage and scaling limits, severe short channel effects, limited performance improvement with scaling, complicated fabrication process with added special techniques, and surface mobility degradation. This disclosure proposes a new CMOS-compatible optoelectronic transistor. The current is much higher than the MOS transistors, due to the high carrier mobility with bulk transportation. The optoelectronic transistors are scalable to the sub-nanometer ranges without short channel effects. It is also suitable for low power applications and ULSI circuits. The new transistor consists of a laser or LED diode as drain or source, and a photo sensor diode (avalanche photo diode) as source or drain. The transistor is turned on by applying a gate voltage, similar to the CMOS transistors, and a laser or LED light signal is sent to the nearby photo diode, causing an avalanche breakdown and high drain current. The transistor is surrounded by dielectrics and metal isolations, which serve as a metal box or cavity, so the generated laser or LED lights are confined and reflected back from the metal. The drain current increases exponentially with the drain or gate voltage. This exponential drain current vs. drain or gate voltage characteristics makes the optoelectronic transistor run much faster than the transitional linear MOSFET.The optic transistor current-voltage characteristics are totally different from transitional CMOS transistors.

    Abstract: A phase-conjugating resonator that includes a semiconductor laser diode apparatus that comprises a phase-conjugating array of retro-reflecting hexagon apertured hexahedral shaped corner-cube prisms, an electrically and/or optically pumped gain-region, a distributed bragg reflecting mirror-stack, a gaussian mode providing hemispherical shaped laser-emission-output metalized mirror. Wherein, optical phase conjugation is used to neutralize the phase perturbating contribution of spontaneous-emission, acoustic phonons, quantum-noise, gain-saturation, diffraction, and other intracavity aberrations and distortions that typically destabilize any stimulated-emission made to undergo amplifying oscillation within the inventions phase-conjugating resonator. Resulting in stabilized high-power laser-emission-output into a single low-order fundamental transverse cavity mode and reversal of intra-cavity chirp that provides for high-speed internal modulation capable of transmitting data at around 20-Gigabits/ps.
