Optoelectronic device and array thereof

Abstract

An optoelectronic device and an array comprising a plurality of the same. The device(s) comprising: an optically active region with an electrode arrangement for applying an electric field across the optically active region; a first curved waveguide, arranged to guide light into the optically active region; and a second curved waveguide, arranged to guide light out of the optically active region; wherein the first curved waveguide and the second curved waveguide are formed of a material having a different band-gap from a band-gap of the optically active region, and wherein the overall guided path formed by the first curved waveguide, the optically active region and the second curved waveguide is U-shaped.
