A communication interface for a laser-guided projectile is configured to use the SAL seeker on board the laser-guided projectile as a communication link. The indium can thus become an unintended dopant in one or more of the II-VI layers grown on the substrate, particularly layers that are close to the growth substrate, and can detrimentally impact device performance. This sensor configuration significantly reduces the size of the sensor and makes the packaging simple and adhesive free. Each of the plurality of output control transistors receives the control signal and controls, according to the control signal, currents flowing from the input terminal to the output terminal.
