CA 2014938

Briefly, in the invention a photodetector and an optical amplifier are integrated in the same semiconductor chip. The optical amplifier and the photodetector are positioned side-by-side on the same chip. A portion of the electromagnetic energy carried in the evanescent tail of the optical mode is detected by the photodetector for monitoring the average output power of the optical amplifier. Current confinement and lateral index guiding can be provided by Fe or Ti doped semi-insulating layers of InP. The side-by-side arrangement enables thedetector to monitor the output power of the optical amplifier without degrading the output power of the optical amplifier.
