Two GaAs optical receiver front-ends are reported. Each consists of an MSM photodetector and a transresistance amplifier that drives a 50 Omega load. One amplifier has a measured analog bandwidth of 6.5 GHz, while the other has one of 4.5 GHz. The transresistance-bandwidth product for both is 2.1 THz- Omega .<
