Abstract :
This paper presents new FET optical receiver frontends designed for broadband performance, high sensitivity and extended dynamic range. A PIN photodiode and GaAs FETs are used for experiments. Two frontends are presented, they show broad bandwidths of about 1.0 GHz. The frontends operate with high optical power input to the PIN photodiode
