Z. Lao et al., 20-GB S 14-K-OMEGA TRANSIMPEDANCE LONG-WAVELENGTH MSM-HEMT PHOTORECEIVER OEIC/, IEEE photonics technology letters, 10(5), 1998, pp. 710-712
A fully monolithically integrated photoreceiver composed of a metal-se
miconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector, a transimpedance amplifier and
three limiting amplifier stages for high-speed optical-fiber links is
presented. The IC was fabricated using a 0.2-mu m gatelength high-elec
tron mobility transistor (HEMT) technology with a f(T) of 60 GHz. The
1.3-1.55-mu m wavelength photoreceiver optoelectronic integrated circu
it (OEIC) has a bandwidth of 16 GHz with a high-transimpedance gain of
14 k Omega. Eye diagrams were demonstrated at 20 Gb/s with a output v
oltage of 1 Vp-p.
