Abstract :
The first 20 Gbit/s 1.3-1.55 μm wavelength monolithic integrated photoreceiver grown on GaAs substrate has been fabricated using AlGaAs/GaAs HEMTs. At a wavelength of 1.3 μm, the integrated InGaAs MSM photodiode has a responsivity of 0.32A/W and the photoreceiver has a -3 dB bandwidth of 16.5 GHz. Clearly-opened eye diagrams for a 20 Gbit/s 1.55 μm optical data stream have been demonstrated
