Abstract
It is well known that a key element in advanced photonic system architectures are arrays of sources and detectors. For example, such devices are useful in optoelectronic switching matrices,1 byte-wide communication, and active wavelength division multiplexing. The effective bandwidth of a system is equal to the bandwidth of a single optical channel multiplied by the total number of parallel channels. Hence, the achievement of very high frequency arrays is an important step in realizing systems which operate at terabit bandwidths and beyond.
