The first long wavelength pin-HEMT photoreceiver grown on GaAs has bee
n manufactured using a 0.3 mu m gate length AlGaAs/GaAs HEMT process.
At a wavelength of 1.55 mu m the monolithically integrated InGaAs pin
photodiode has a responsivity of 0.40A/W, and the photoreceiver has a
-3dB bandwidth of 6.9GHz. Clear and open eye diagrams for a 10Gbit/s 1
.5 mu m optical data stream have been demonstrated.
