Abstract

We report the first integrated photodetector-preamplifier circuit implemented with InP/GaInAs heterojunction bipolar transistors. The circuit consists of a three-terminal photo-transistor, three bipolar transistors and three resistors. A receiver sensitivity of −26 dBm at 100 Mbit/s has been achieved.
