Patent attributes
An optical device includes an underlying device configured to output light in a first spectrum. A stacked device is coupled to the underlying device and configured to be coupled in overlapping fashion to an optical output of the underlying device. The stacked device is transparent to light in the first spectrum. The stacked device includes electro-optical circuits including: light emitters and detectors. Each detector is associated with one or more light emitters. Each detector is configured to detect light emitted from the underlying device. The light emitters are configured to output light dependent on light detected by an associated detector. Optical filters are optically coupled to an optical input of the underlying device. Each filter is aligned with a detector to suppress absorption of certain wavelengths of light by the underlying device thereby affecting light detected by the detectors and thus further affecting the light output by the light emitters.
