Abstract
A GaAs optical transmitter IC consisting of input buffers, a D-type flip-flop, an NRZ/RZ code convertor and a light source current driver has been developed for use in fibre-optic communication systems, employing D-MESFET SCFL by the Pt buried gate FET process. 1.1 Gbit/s modulation of an LD in RZ format with 20 mA peak drive current has been demonstrated.
