    Abstract: Disclosed are electronic devices that include an array of light emitting diodes and photosensors formed in a single semiconductor chip. The light emitting diodes may be structured as vertical exterior cavity surface-emitting laser diodes (VECSELs). The photosensors may be formed as resonant cavity photosensors (RCPDs). The VECSELs and the RCPDs of the array may be formed in a common set of semiconductor layers of the single semiconductor chip and separated by isolation regions formed in the common set of semiconductor layers. Also disclosed are dual chip transmitter-receiver systems including a first semiconductor chip having an array of both VECSELs and RCPDs formed in common set of semiconductor layers, and a second semiconductor chip electrically connected to the first semiconductor chip and including control circuitry to enable laser emission from the VECSELs and light reception by the RCPDs.

    Abstract: An optical sensing device includes a light source, which is configured to emit one or more beams of light pulses at respective angles toward a target scene. An array of sensing elements is configured to output signals in response to incidence of photons on the sensing elements. Light collection optics are configured to image the target scene onto the array. Control circuitry is coupled to actuate the sensing elements only in one or more selected regions of the array, each selected region containing a respective set of the sensing elements in a part of the array onto which the light collection optics image a corresponding area of the target scene that is illuminated by the one of the beams, and to adjust a membership of the respective set responsively to a distance of the corresponding area from the device.

    Abstract: An optoelectronic device includes a first semiconductor die, having first and second surfaces and including a first array of transceiver elements. Each transceiver element includes an optical transducer, which directs outgoing coherent optical radiation through the first surface toward a target and to receive incoming optical radiation that has been reflected from the target. A single-photon optical detector outputs electrical pulses in response to photons of the incoming optical radiation. A waveguide conveys the incoming optical radiation from the optical transducer to the single-photon optical detector. A second semiconductor die is bonded to the second surface of the first semiconductor die and includes a second array of logic circuits, which are coupled to receive and process the electrical pulses output by the single-photon optical detectors in corresponding ones of the transceiver elements.
