Abstract
An embodiment of the disclosed device includes: two coupled laser diodes, emitting a light wave which is modulated in frequency and amplitude by electrical signals which control the selection of one among several interconnections and represent a sequence of binary data also included is an optical guide embedded in the surface of a semiconductor substrate and a diffraction grating etched on the surface of the guide and substrate, coupled to the guide to diffract the light in several directions depending on the wavelength as well as photodiodes respectively located in one of the directions where the light can be diffracted, to give an electrical signal representing the binary data transmitted in the direction corresponding to the photodiode. In other embodiments, the photodiodes are coupled to laser diodes by means of a holographic grating.
