| 20. An monolithic optical device, comprising:
an amplifier, said amplifier comprising a first portion of a first waveguide and a second waveguide having different effective
indices of refraction and having a first mode of light and a second mode of light divided unequally between the first waveguide
and the second waveguide; and
a detector, said detector comprising a second portion of the first waveguide and the second waveguide, the first waveguide
and the second waveguide having different effective indices of refraction and having the first mode of light and the second
mode of light divided unequally between the first waveguide and the second waveguide.
