40-Gb/s IC and packaging technologies for future lightwave communications

This paper reviews recent advances made at our laboratories in device, circuit-design, and module-design technologies for future very-high-speed lightwave communications. ICs and modules developed using 0.1 micrometer gate-length InAlAs/InGaAs HEMTs demonstrate promising performance suited to 40-Gb/s applications.
