Abstract

We analyze and demonstrate a synchronized CMOS photoreceiver for the conversion of optical inputs of pulse-light to electronic digital signals. Small-signal and photonic analysis of the proposed circuit are detailed. The photoreceiver was operated at 100 MHz with only 13.3 fJ/pulse of 830-nm input light. Its effective area is 100×60 μm ² which makes this monolithic photoreceiver extremely important for use in data storage and optical interconnection applications
