A low power GaAs-based monolithically integrated phototransceiver, consisti
ng of a high gain phototransistor and a microcavity light-emitting diode, i
s demonstrated. The input and output wavelengths are 0.85 and 0.98 mum, res
pectively. The phototransceiver exhibits an optical gain of 7 dB and power
dissipation of 400 muW for an input power of 1.5 muW The small signal modul
ation bandwidth is 80 MHz.
