Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a bit-error rate (BER) of an optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) receiver. For this investigation, signal and noise characteristics of a Si avalanche photodetector and a high-speed electronic circuit are analyzed. Using the fabricated OEIC receiver, 12.5-Gb/s 2³¹-1 pseudo-random binary sequence optical signal is successfully detected with BER less than 10^-12 at incident optical power of -7 dBm.
