Abstract
An integrated optical receiver device includes a substrate. At least one polycrystalline indirect band-gap detector capable of detecting the photons of impinging light and outputting a signal in response thereto is disposed on the substrate. At least one electronic device, electrically coupled to the at least one polycrystalline indirect band-gap detector, capable of processing the signal output by the at least one polycrystalline indirect band-gap detector is monolithically integrated with the detector on the substrate.
