Abstract

The design and performance characteristics of a 1.2 Gbit/s transimpedance receiver OEIC incorporating a high voltage gain, low input capacitance cascode amplifier and a 50Ω driver is reported. The receiver exhibited an improvement of factor of two in bandwidth over those using a conventional single inverter gain stage. An optical sensitivity of −27.5 dBm for an error rate of 10⁻⁹ at 1.3 μm wavelength has been obtained without bandwidth equalisation or noise filtering.
