Abstract

A variety of circuits, suitable for a demonstrator for 40 Gb/s fiber optical transmission system have been designed fabricated in InP-HBT technology and measured. All the circuits show potential for 40 Gb/s applications. The electrical parts have been implemented in MSI/LSI AlInAs-InGaAs HBT technology, while the monolithic optoelectronic receivers were realized in SSI InP-InGaAs HBT technology. The verification of performance of the circuits have been mainly limited by available measurement equipment. All the electronic parts have been operational with 3 V supply voltage. All the circuits were fully functional after the first processing round. No redesign was necessary
