Abstract

Monolithically integrated InP-based optical receivers are attractive for long-wavelength high-density optical communications. Here we reported an In0.53Ga0.47As receiver which consists of an In0.53Ga0.47As PIN photodiode and an In0.53Ga0.47As JFET transimpedance amplifier. The In0.53Ga0.47As JFETs have previously demonstrated high stability and suitable for large-scale InP-based OEICs.1 A narrow-gate In0.53Ga0.47As JFET (5μm wide and 30μm long) is used as an active feedback resistor for the transimpedance amplifier. The output resistance of the narrow-gate transistor operated in its linear region can be dynamically tuned over a wide range. In addition to the active resistors, the transimpedance amplifier has a common source inverter, a level-shifter and an output buffer. Figure 1 shows the circuit diagram and photomicrograph of the monolithic receiver.
