Abstract

A passive optical network (PON) system is a cost-effective broadband access system whose use has been spreading worldwide. A key device in such a system is an optical receiver IC with a quick response and high sensitivity that realizes high efficiency in data transmission. This paper also reports burst-mode optical receiver ICs fabricated using 0.25 μm SiGe BiCMOS technologies for a 10G-EPON system, which is a promising access network for a next generation PON system. The results show that SiGe BiCMOS can provide high performance and cost effective receiver ICs for 10G-class PON systems. We use Performance Evaluation Process Algebra (PEPA) to evaluate a typical PON system´s performance. The approach is more convenient, flexible, and lower cost than the former simulation method which needs develop special hardware and software tools. Moreover, we can easily analysis how changes in performance depend on changes in a particular modes by supplying ranges for parameter values.
