Abstract:
1. An optoelectronic component, comprising: at least one light source monolithically integrated in a semiconductor material, said light source having an active layer; at least one photodetector for measuring light power, said photodetector having at least one active layer in common with said active layer of said light source, and said photodetector being coupled with said at least one light source via said at least one active layer; at least one of said active layer and a modulator layer having a multiple quantum well structure formed with a quantum structure selected from the group consisting of at least two quantum well types and a quantum dot structure; and at least one electro-optical modulator for modulating said light source, said electro-optical modulator being an electroabsorption modulator, said electroabsorption modulator having a coupling-out window and said photodetector being disposed at said coupling-out window.
