A p-ih photodiode bipolar optical receiver using a high beta polysilicon emitter transistor has been investigated. The receiver operates from .a single 6-V supply, has a dynamic range in excess of 20 dB, and has been tested at bit rates up to 1 Gbitls. At 280 Mbitls and 1.3 pm the measured sensitivity was -35 dBm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
