Isikhokelo sophuhliso lwesantya esiphezulu, umthamo omkhulu kunye ne-bandwidth ebanzi yonxibelelwano lwe-optical sifuna ukuhlanganiswa okuphezulu kwezixhobo ze-photoelectric. Isiseko sokuhlanganiswa kukwenziwa kwezixhobo ze-photoelectric zibe zincinci. Ke ngoko, ukwenziwa kwezixhobo ze-photoelectric zibe zincinci yeyona nto iphambili kwaye ishushu kwicandelo lonxibelelwano lwe-optical. Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, xa kuthelekiswa netekhnoloji ye-optoelectronic yendabuko, itekhnoloji ye-femtosecond laser micromachining iya kuba sisizukulwana esitsha setekhnoloji yokwenziwa kwezixhobo ze-optoelectronic. Iingcali zasekhaya nakwamanye amazwe zenze uphando oluluncedo kwiinkalo ezininzi zobuchwepheshe bokulungiselela i-optical waveguide kwaye zenze inkqubela phambili enkulu.
