Abstract:
An opto-electronic component formed of at least a laser diode and a modulator in a semiconductor material, comprising:a first layer sequence of a multiple potential well structure provided for the laser diode, the first layer sequence formed from a first composition of materials and a plurality of first layers having first thicknesses wherein each first layer is also present in the modulator;a second layer sequence of a multiple potential well structure provided for the modulator, the second layer sequence formed from a second composition of materials and a plurality of second layers having second thicknesses; andwherein the second composition of materials differs from the first composition of materials so as to distinguish the first layer sequence from the second layer sequence, and wherein each of the plurality of first and second layers are arranged in non-intersecting planes.
