Summary:An electrical-optical coupling and detecting device. An apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a reflective surface defined on semiconductor material. The reflective surface is to reflect an incident optical beam towards an optical destination. An optical detector is monolithically integrated in the reflective surface of the semiconductor material. The optical detector arranged in the reflective surface of the semiconductor material is to detect the incident optical beam.
