Exploring the limits of high-speed receivers for multimode VCSEL-based optical links

We present complete characterizations of multimode GaAs photodetectors for high-speed VCSEL-based optical links and compare SiGe receiver IC performances in a 62Gbps back-to-back link for different photodiode designs.
