An apparatus (3800) for intersignal treatment includes: (a) a substrate (3810) that has optical characteristics conveys first optical signals between first (3820) and second (3822) optical ports and reacts to an imposed electricfield by altering the optical characteristics; (b) an intermediate region (3812) including an amorphous oxide (3811)overlying the substrate and a monocrystalline oxide overlying the amorphous oxide; (c) an optical interface region overlying the intermediate region that is a monocrystalline compound III - V semiconductor optically active atpredetermined wavelengths and configured for receiving a second optical signal at a third optical port; and (d) an electrical interface(3816), formed in the optical interface region having an electrical port for receiving electrical signals, that cooperates with the second optical signals to modulate the electrical signals to generate the electric field in response to the second optical signals. The apparatus is implemented in a monolithic integrated structure arranged on a single substrate. |
