Abstract :
A high speed receiver module has been developed for 10 Gbit/s optical transmission systems. To achieve a wideband module, a 12.7 GHz bandwidth AlGaAs/GaAs HBT preamplifier IC and an impedance matched package were used. The receiver sensitivity at 10 Gbit/s is -15.7 dBm, and is -30.3 dBm with an optical preamplifier.
