Abstract :
We demonstrate a simple 40 Gb/s receiver generating output voltages directly from the photodiode sufficient to directly drive high speed logic devices (>0.5 V). The receiver consists of a commercially available p-i-n photodiode and a multistage erbium fiber preamplifier with gain control for equalizing the output signal.
