Abstract:
1. An integrated electro-optic circuit comprising: one or more electro-optic semiconductor devices, each of the electro-optic semiconductor devices having an active region including one or more semiconductor quantum well structures, each of the semiconductor quantum well structures comprising: one or more optical waveguides optically coupled to one or more of the electro-optic semiconductor devices; and a device substrate, wherein the optical waveguides and the electro-optic semiconductor devices are integrated on the device substrate; wherein, for each of the electro-optic semiconductor devices, an electric field responsive to an input to the electro-optic device is present in the active region of the electro-optic semiconductor device; whereby, for each of the electro-optic semiconductor devices, an optical response of the electro-optic semiconductor device is altered by the input.
