Abstract
This letter reports the bonding of a small, thin-film GaAs-based emitt er onto a larger silicon detector to realize spatial colocation of the emitter and detector, These colocated devices enable single fiber bid irectional communication between the two analog/digital silicon circui ts that contain the emitter/detector pairs, Bidirectional communicatio n between two of these circuits is demonstrated with a single plastic optical fiber.
