Abstract
A direct-detection 800 nm GaAs monolithically integrated photoreceiver is reported with a photocurrent gain of 200 and a 1 GHz bandwidth capable of driving a 50 ¿ load with IV peak pulses. The integrated NPN photodiode has over 7GHz bandwidth and requires no modifications to the ion-implanted GaAs MESFET process. The 200GHz gain-bandwidth product and 3200 V/W responsivity are among the highest reported for similar receivers.
