Abstract
The present invention provides an optoelectronic device, a method of manufacture thereof, and an optical communication system including the same. The optoelectronic device may include, in one particular embodiment, an active device located over a substrate and a passive device located proximate the active device and over the substrate. The optoelectronic device may further include a doped cladding layer located over the active and passive devices and a barrier layer located over the doped cladding layer and the passive device.
