  • Abstract
    Five 10 Gbit/s lightwave ICs implemented using 52 GHz fT AlInAs/GaInAs HBTs are described. This collection of circuits represents the first single channel fibre optic regenerator implemented using AlInAs/GaInAs HBTs exclusively, reported to date. A maximum single-ended output swing of 2 V peak to peak at 10 Gbit/s was demonstrated for this technology.
