Abstract :
A 1.8 Gbit/s optical receiver amplifier with five monolithic ICs is realised. An optical receiver amplifier achieved 65 dB gain with a 1.3 GHz bandwidth and 1.1 W power consumption. The receiver sensitivity at a 10¿11 bit error rate was ¿33.0 dBm with 23 dB optical dynamic range. The output signal amplitude obtained was 0.8 V.
