Abstract:A low-cost, compact 5-Gbps fully integrated CMOS optical receiver without equalizer is fabricated in this paper in a standard 0.18-µm CMOS technology. The measured responsivity of the DNW-strip-SMPD operating in avalanche mode is 1.4 A/W, while the bandwidth is 2.9 GHz with 11.6 V reverse bias voltage. The application for 5-Gbps very-short-reach optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) receiver with a bit-error rate <10 −12 at incident optical power of −4 dBm has been experimentally demonstrated. The core chip… Show more
