50 GHz monolithically integrated InP/InGaAs PIN/HBT-receiver

We have designed and fabricated a monolithically integrated InP/InGaAs PIN/HBT-photoreceiver for a wavelength of /spl lambda/=1.55 /spl mu/m. The transimpedance amplifier achieves a gain of 44.6 dB/spl Omega/ 170 /spl Omega/, and the optical/electrical -3 dB-bandwidth of the entire receiver is 50 GHz, the largest bandwidth reported for any long-wavelength receiver OEIC.
