Active feedback lightwave receivers

Abstract

Conventional PINFET lightwave receivers achieve high sensitivity only by allowing integration of the photocurrent signal, which requires equalization with its attendant problems and also compromises the dynamic range. Conventional nonintegrating receivers1 avoid these problems but have 10-20-dB less sensitivity due to the Johnson noise of the low-value input or feedback resistors required to avoid integration.
