High-performance, long-wavelength OEICs on a GaAs-on-InP heterostructure were fabricated. For the transmitter OEIC, high-speed operation up to 2.4 Gbit/s was achieved, and a receiver sensitivity as high as −26.0 dBm for a 1.2 Gbit/s NRZ signal was realised for the receiver OEIC. To confirm the usefulness of these OEICs for optical fibre networks, a 1.2 Gbit/s optical fibre transmission experiment was successfully carried out over a 52.5 km span.
