High-performance high-yield, uniform 32-channel optical receiver array
Abstract
Many applications for optical interconnection either require more data rate than serial links offer or are architected for parallel line (data bus) implementations. Essential to low-cost optical bus implementations are monolithic arrays of photo-receivers with high yield and uniform properties. We present a 32-channel optical receiver array fabricated in 1.2-/spl mu/m GaAs E/D MESFET technology. Each channel runs at the data rate of 1 Gbit/s, equivalently providing 32 Gbit/s with 32 channels.
