An InP-based monolithically integrated optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC), consisting of a 1.55 μm photoreceiver and a laser driver, is demonstrated. The circuit, designed and fabricated with heterojunction bipolar transistors, has a -3 dB bandwidth of 8.1 GHz and bit-error-rate measurements show that the circuit can operate at 10 Gbit/s. The OEIC is tested with a singlemode 1.55 μm laser connected externally
