1.3 [micro sign]m/1.55 [micro sign]m in-line transceiver assembly with –27 dBm full-duplex sensitivity

The authors report, for the first time to their knowledge, a full-duplex sensitivity of –27 dBm at 155 Mbit/s (RX) - 54Mbit/s (TX) which meets system requirements with an in-line transceiver assembly using a commercially available transimpedance amplifier.
