A low-power monolithically integrated phototransceiver, consisting of a hig
h-sensitivity modulated barrier photodiode and a In0,4Ga0,6As/GaAs self-org
anised quantum-dot microavity light-emitting diode, is demonstrated. The mo
dulated barrier photodiode exhibits a responsivity of 1.8 x 10(3) A/W, for
630nm excitation, at an input power of 10nW. The output wavelength is 980nm
. The phototransceiver exhibits an optical gain of 18dB and power dissipati
on of 110 muW for an input power of 10nW.
