Abstract
An electronic device may include first and second integrated circuits including respective first and second active optical devices establishing an optical communications link therebetween. The first active optical device may include a superlattice including a plurality of stacked groups of layers. Each group of layers of the superlattice may include a plurality of stacked base semiconductor monolayers defining a base semiconductor portion and an energy band-modifying layer thereon. Also, the energy-band modifying layer may include at least one non-semiconductor monolayer constrained within a crystal lattice of adjacent base semiconductor portions.
