Abstract
A very high sensitivity, high speed, fiber-pigtailed photoreceiver module is described. The OEIC photoreceiver, composed of a p-i-n photodetector monolithically integrated with an InP-InGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT)-based transimpedance amplifier, has measured sensitivity of -20 dBm and -17.6 dBm for data rates of 10 and 12 Gb/s, respectively, at a bit error rate of 1/spl times/10/sup -9/. These results are the best ever reported for an OEIC photoreceiver at these speeds. In an optical transmission experiment with a low noise erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) preceding the OEIC photoreceiver, the measured sensitivities were -35.2 and -32 dBm at 10 and 12 Gb/s respectively.<>Keywords
