Ultrafast monolithic InP-based photoreceiver module detecting a 40 Gbit/s optical TDM RZ modulated pulse sequence

A monolithic InP-based photoreceiver module for λ = 1.55 μm is presented. It detects an RZ modulated PRBS at a bit rate of 40 Gbit/s generated from an optical TDM source under polarization scrambled pulse conditions.
