Abstract
An ultrahigh-speed multiplexer (MUX) circuit has been developed for fu ture optical transmission systems. The IC was fabricated with 160 Hz f (max) AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs. Error-free 40Gbit/s operation with an 0.8V pea k-to-peak output voltage swing was confirmed. Its 50Gbit/s operation w ith an output voltage swing of 0.3V peak-to-peak was also verified. Th ese are, to the authors' knowledge, the fastest operation speeds ever reported for a MUX IC implemented with any type of device.
