9361437 Hannon AstroPower proposes the development of monlithically integrated bicolor edge emitter-detector pairs for wavelength-division multiplexing in fiber optic communications. This device utilizes laterally graded A1xGa1-xAs layers formed by liquid phase epitaxial deposition onto a continuously moving substrate. Multiple light emitting diodes and detectors can be colinearly integrated in the same device to emit/detect light of different wavelengths. The A1GaAs system allows for composition control so that an array of devices sensitive to different wavelengths can be fabricated on the laterally graded structure. This program will explore the limits of the moving substrate technique in forming laterally graded layers. The optoelectronic integrated circuit will be designed for optimum emission and detection capabilities. AstroPower has extensive experience with the design, fabrication, and characterization of LEDs and detectors as well as with liquid phase epitaxy -- all of which will have a strong impact on the success of this program. ***

9361437 Hannon AstroPower 提议开发单片集成双色边缘发射器-检测器对，用于光纤通信中的波分复用。 该器件利用通过液相外延沉积到连续移动的基板上形成的横向渐变的AlxGa1-xAs层。 多个发光二极管和检测器可以共线集成在同一装置中，以发射/检测不同波长的光。 A1GaAs 系统允许成分控制，以便可以在横向渐变结构上制造对不同波长敏感的器件阵列。 该计划将探索移动基板技术在形成横向渐变层方面的局限性。 光电集成电路将被设计为具有最佳的发射和检测能力。 AstroPower 在 LED 和探测器以及液相外延的设计、制造和表征方面拥有丰富的经验，所有这些都将对该项目的成功产生重大影响。 ***
