1. A device with opto-electronic circuitry, comprising:
a substrate;
a photovoltaic module engaged to the substrate and structured to convert light into electricity;
an identification module engaged to the substrate and coupled to receive power from the electricity generated by the photovoltaic module, the identification module configured to generate an electrical identification signal indicative of a unique identity of the device that uniquely identifies the device from other devices;
a light-emitting module engaged to the substrate via a transfer from a separate substrate on which the light-emitting module is initially formed by a plurality of III-V semiconductor layers and via bonding the transferred light-emitting module to the substrate, and the light-emitting module coupled to receive power from the electricity generated by the photovoltaic module and to receive the electrical identification signal from the identification module and operable to produce output light that is modulated to carry the electrical identification signal to wirelessly and optically transmit the electrical identification signal out of the device; and
one or more electrical interconnects lithographically formed on the substrate and configured to electrically connect the light-emitting module to the photovoltaic module and the identification module.
