  • Abstract
    An optical receiver for 40 Gbit/s communication systems with 8274 V/W conversion gain and 950 mVp-p limiting differential output is reported. A back-to-back sensitivity of -9.4 dBm at a bit error rate of 10-12 was observed for a 231-1 pseudorandom binary sequence. The receiver incorporates an InP based pin diode, a transimpedance amplifier and a limiting amplifier. This is the largest conversion gain with high sensitivity reported for 40 Gbit/s receivers without optical amplification.
