10 Gbit/s long wavelength monolithic integrated optoelectronic receiver grown on GaAs

The first 10 Gbit/s 1.3-1.55 /spl mu/m wavelength monolithic integrated photoreceiver grown on GaAs substrate has been fabricated using a 0.3 /spl mu/m gate length AlGaAs-GaAs HEMT process. At a wavelength of 1.3 /spl mu/m the integrated InGaAs MSM photodiode has a DC responsivity of 0.34 A/W. The photoreceiver bandwidth is 7.1 GHz and its sensitivity is better than -14.7 dBm (BER=10/sup -9/).
