11 GHz bandwidth optical integrated receivers using GaAs MESFET and MSM technology

Direct Modulation of Semiconductor Lasers

“…Ury [52] and Fukuzawa [53] also produced integrated MESFET and laser chips in GaAs. Following these early [54][55][56][57][58][59], receivers [60][61][62][63][64][65], repeaters [66,67] and transceivers [68,69]. These circuits which combine both optical and electronic devices have come to be known as opto-electronic integrated circuits or OEIC's.…”

Fully embedded board-level guided-wave optoelectronic interconnects

“…To ensure the desired electrical and mechanical properties imposed on board-level optical interconnection, and to meet the required optical properties for the low-loss waveguide formation, the photosensitive polyimide provided by Amoco Chemicals was used for the waveguide fabrication [24]. The polyimides employed have excellent thermal stability ( C) and optical transparency when they are thermally or photochemically cross-linked.…”

“…Numerous high-performance monolithic Si and GaAs receivers have been demonstrated, with the integration of MSM detector and field-effect transistors (FET's). In the context of board-level optical interconnect applications, a thin-film MSM photodetector is the most appropriate because it can provide a very high demodulation speed due to the fast transit time of electron and hole pairs and is compatible with Si CMOS fabrication procedure [22]- [24].…”
