Abstract: This invention relates to an optoelectronic transceiver which has the following: an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, coupling means consisting of a first and second optical lens made with optically active interfaces for changing/deflecting optical paths of on the one hand optical output signals A of the optical transmitter to a connectable optical light guide and on the other hand of input signals E of the same light guide to the receiver, characterized in that the first lens has a concave reflection surface which lies inside in the coupling means for signals of the optical transmitter and the second lens has a convex transmission surface which lies outside for outgoing signals of the optical transmitter and a concave reflection surface which lies inside for incoming signals.

Abstract: A lateral photodiode, with improved response speed, includes a semiconductor substrate having active regions, and a p-type region and an n-type region arranged parallel to the surface of the substrate. The active regions are an n-layer and a p-layer respectively, and stacked in the thickness direction of the substrate to form a p-n junction. In addition, a barrier layer, for preventing movement of carriers from the substrate toward the active region, is provided on the side of the active regions toward the substrate.

Abstract: A photodiode in which increased sensitivity and speed are balanced. The photodiode includes: a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of active regions formed on the substrate by selective epitaxial growth; and a comb electrode provided for each of the plurality of active regions and in communication with each other to electrically connect the active regions together.

Abstract: A photodiode balanced in increased sensitivity and speed. The photodiode includes a semiconductor substrate, an active region formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a comb electrode connected to the active region. The comb electrode includes a plurality of electrode fingers, and each of the electrode fingers includes a transparent electrode contacting the active region, and an opaque electrode formed on the transparent electrode.

Abstract: A bidirectional transceiver assembly includes a VCSEL structure that emits light at a defined wavelength on a substrate structure. A photodetector receives the light. A hole structure is formed on the substrate structure to allow the light from the VCSEL structure to be emitted so as to form an optical path.
