10-Gb/s all-silicon optical receiver
Abstract
We report an all-silicon optical receiver operating at 10 Gb/s. The lateral p-i-n photodiodes were fabricated using standard 130-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology on silicon-on-insulator substrate. A sensitivity of -6.9 dBm (bit error ratio < 10-9) at 10 Gb/s was achieved.
