Abstract
The authors report the system penalty incurred by an optical-to-electr onic wavelength selector that is based on sharing one of several wavel ength channels by a single transimpedance amplifier through MESFET swi tches. It was found that for a system penalty of 1dB, four metal-semic onductor-metal photodetectors can share a single transimpedance amplif ier, whereas for a 2dB penalty the number is eight.
