Abstract :
A monolithic photoreceiver OEIC for λ=1.55 μm consisting of a waveguide pin photodiode and an InAlAs/InGaAs HEMT distributed amplifier has been fabricated using a single-step MOVPE growth technique. It has a 3 dB-down frequency of 20 GHz and operates at 20 Gbit/s with a sensitivity of -10.4 dBm
