The device for generating an electrical control according to a position of a light beam in relation to a separating line includes two photodetectors (14,24), one (14) of which is arranged for detecting light falling on one side of the separating line and another (24) of which is arranged for detecting light falling on another side of the separating line. The separating line is an edge (30) extending between two (1,1,1) crystallographic planes of a crystalline substrate and the (1,1,1) crystallographic planes reflect respective parts of the light beam to the respective photodetectors.

The present invention relates to a monolithically designed input stage for an optical receiver, the input stage comprising a PIN (more specifically a PNIN) photodiode and a connected field effect transistor. The photodiode, which includes an absorption zone of GaInAsP for the optical radiation and a pn-junction formed by InP layers, is disposed together with the field effect transistor on a common semi-insulating InP substrate.

A device for generating microwave signals, e.g., for use in a distance and speed sensor in a motor vehicle, is provided. To this end, two laser sources are operated, whose emitted radiations are distinguished from each other by a set difference in wavelength. The two lasers are arranged in such a manner that the emitted laser beams overlap spatially. A photodiode is arranged in this region in which the two laser beams interfere. From the superimposition product of the two laser beams, this photodiode generates an electrical output signal that has the differential frequency of the two superimposed laser beams. In this context, the frequency difference of the two lasers is selected so that the frequency of the generated microwave radiation lies in the range of the radar beam to be generated.

The invention relates to an optical fiber amplifier having an amplification waveguide, having a pump source and having a wavelength-selective coupler. The pump light from the pump source is coupled into the amplification waveguide via the coupler. A carrier substrate (GS) is provided, on which passive (eg. couplers, dividers) and active components (eg. amplification waveguides) of the fiber amplifier are integrated. In addition, a silicon carrier (ST1) is provided, which is fitted to one end of the carrier substrate (GS). The silicon carrier (ST1) has anisotropically etched grooves with optical components. The pump source is fixed on the silicon carrier (ST1).The optical components on silicon carrier (ST1) and carrier substrate (GS) are adjusted in relation to one another.

In the case of the above devices, accurate adjustment is very important; the devices ought, however, to be very compact. It is not sufficient to utilize the silicon etching technique for accuracy. The optical transmitting element (LD) is located on a first holder (T1), and the optical receiving element (PD) and the transmission fiber (Fa) are located on a third holder. Provided there between is a second holder (T2) which is transparent to the wavelength of the light emitted by the transmitting element (LD). The holders are structured by means of anisotropic etching in order to render it possible to receive the individual components. Furthermore, the holders lie flat on one another and can be so adjusted. A monitor diode (MD) is provided.
