Abstract

InP-based PIN TWA photoreceiver OEICs with monolithically integrated taper were fabricated, pack-aged into butt-coupled pig-tailed modules and characterized for 50 GHz operation at λ=1.55 μm. Cascode-type circuit schemes of the integrated travelling wave amplifier were realized for increased conversion gain of up to 85 V/W.
