Abstract
The combination of plastic optical fiber (POF) with monolithically integrated transmitter and receiver is becoming increasingly attractive for the development of miniature optoelectronic sensing systems. Here, we propose a temperature sensing system by integrating a GaN optoelectronic chip with a POF and aluminum (Al) reflector. Owing to the overlap between electroluminescence and responsivity spectra of multiple quantum well (MQW) diodes, both the transmitter and the receiver having identical MQW structures are monolithically integrated on a tiny GaN chip by using the same fabrication process flow. Environmental temperature change leads to thermal deformation in the Al reflector, which reflects the transmitted light back with a light pulse. The reflected light is coupled into the guided POF again and sensed by the on-chip receiver. Finally, the temperature information is read out as electrical signals. When the ambient temperature changes from 20.1°C to 100°C, the optically induced electrical signal decreases from −3.04 µA to −3.13 µA. The results suggest that the monolithically integrated GaN device offers a promising option for optoelectronic temperature sensing systems.
