Abstract :
We clarify the impact of a bulk detection layer in an optical transceiver diode for low-cost time compression multiplexing (TCM) transmission systems. By optimizing the detection layer for both transmitter and receiver operations, we obtain temperature- and wavelength-insensitive responsivity, and the power penalty of sensitivity is within 0.55 dB over a wide-wavelength range in the receiver mode. The pulsation due to the detection layer is also effectively suppressed in the transmitter mode. We demonstrate a switching operation for 156-Mb/s nonreturn-to-zero burst signals, which is indispensable for TCM transmission systems
