Abstract
Many applications for optical interconnection either require more data rate than serial links offer or are architected for parallel line (data bus) implementations. Essential to low-cost optical bus implementations are monolithic arrays of photo-receivers with high yield and uniform properties. We present a 32-channel optical receiver array fabricated in 1.2-μm GaAs E/D MESFET technology. Each channel runs at the data rate of 1 Gbit/s, equivalently providing 32 Gbit/s with 32 channels.
