Abstract
In/AlAs/InGaAs-InP heterojunction dipolar transistor (HBT) technology offers high device speed, low 1/f flicker noise and monolithic integra tion of 1.55 mu m InGaAs photodetectors making them well suited for ne xt-generation, high data rte optoelectronic communication links. Appli cation toward next-generation >40 Gbps communication systems is discus sed, and sate-of-the-art receiver capability is presented.
