Abstract

The use of epitaxial lift-off¹ to incorporate active optoelectronic components on low loss and inexpensive nonsemiconductor optical waveguides offers an attractive technology for high-performance integrated optics. Using this technique, we have previously reported the integration and optical coupling of short-wavelength GaAs metal–semi-conductor–metal (MSM) photodetectors with glass waveguides.² Here we report the integration and optical coupling of long-wavelength InGaAs p-i-n photodetectors, which are important to fiber-based systems operating in the 1.3-1.55-μm-wavelength region, with glass waveguides.
