Les composants optoélectroniques assurent la conversion électronique-optique (diodes laser) à l'entrée et optique-électronique (photodiode) en sortie. L'idéal serait de fabriquer des circuits intégrés optiques qui auraient les mêmes performances que les circuits électroniques. C'est l'objectif de la photonique. 1, record 1, French, - circuit%20int%C3%A9gr%C3%A9%20optique
