Abstract:
An optoelectronic device (100) comprises a waveguide device (10) being arranged for guiding light fields (1), an array (20) of semiconductor nanowires (21), which stand with a mutual spacing on the waveguide device (10), wherein the positions and spacing of the nanowires (21) are selected such that the array (20) of semiconductor nanowires (21) provides an optical grating coupler optically coupling the waveguide device (10) and the semiconductor nanowires (21), and first and second contact sections (31, 32) for electrically contacting the array (20) of semiconductor nanowires (21). Furthermore, a method of manufacturing the optoelectronic device is described.
