Abstract
An optoelectronic coupler with a semiconductor transmitter and a semiconductor receiver has a transparent conductive screen formed of semiconductor material overlying the active area of at least one of the transmitter and receiver, in the path of optical radiation passing between the transmitter and receiver, and directly electrically connected to a semiconductor zone of the active area, to protect the coupler from changes in its electrical characteristics due to high intensity electric fields.
