Flexible optoelectronics has emerged as an outstanding platform to pave the road toward vanguard technology advancements. As compared to conventional rigid substrates, a flexible technology enables mechanical deformation while maintaining stable performance. The advantages include not only the development to novel applications, but also the implementation of a wearable technology directly in contact with a curved surface. Here the monolithic integration of a perovskite‐based optical waveguide amplifier together with a photodetector on a nanocellulose substrate is shown to demonstrate the feasibility of a stretchable signal manipulation and receptor system fabricated on a biodegradable material. An integrated optical amplifier–photodetector is developed in which the photocurrent is exploited that is generated in the organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite under an applied bias. Such photocurrent does not minimally perturb the amplifier operation and is used to monitor the light signal propagating along the waveguide, opening a broad range of applications for example to regulate the operation temperature.
