Abstract
The design and performance of a high-speed optical receiver for the 1.3μm and 1.5μm wavelength regions is described. The receiver comprises an InGaAs PIN photodiode feeding into a bipolar transimpedance preamplifier. Measured receiver characteristics are found to compare favourably with theoretical predictions.
