The artical introduced the development of active optoelectronic chips. Discrete active devices emerged from the last century have developed into today’s integrated active optical chip. Through the comparative analysis of the features of discrete hybrid integrated active optical chip and monolithic integrated active optical chip

focuses on the advantages and challenges of the future development of silicon-based monolithically integrated active optical chips.Through the introduction of the three most widely used integrated technologies of optical chips

Si OB（silicon optical platform integration）

PIC（photonic integrated circuit）

OEIC（optoelectronic integrated circuit technology）

as well as the introduction of the representative products of active device optical chip

the conclusion that OEIC-based device represents the future of light-integrated active devices is earnd.
