Abstract :
A waveguide-integrated photoreceiver, comprising a waveguide-integrated photodiode and a distributed amplifier, is presented. Its optical to electrical conversion capability for nonreturn to zero modulated data rates up to 80 Gb/s is demonstrated. The receiver optoelectronic integrated circuit was packaged into a pig-tailed module with a 1 mm connector output.
