Examples of Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits

In this chapter the full variety of silicon receiver OEICs in digital and analog techniques will be introduced. Examples of optical receivers range from low-power synchronous digital circuits for massively parallel optical interconnects and three-dimensional optical storage to asynchronous Gb/s fiber receivers. Hybrid integrated laser drivers are included as examples of optical emitters. Low-offset analog OEICs for two-dimensional optical storage systems like digital-versatile-disk (DVD) and digital-video-recording (DVR) will be described as well as image sensors. Among various optical sensors for industrial and medical applications, smart pixel sensors as well as distance measurement circuits leading to 3D cameras and paving the way to innovative cameras-on-a-chip (CoC) will be presented. Techniques like integrated voltage-up-converters and the four-quarter POF receiver approach for speed enhancement of SOEICs will also be introduced. Newest developments of burst-mode and deep-sub-µm receivers are additionally addressed. A comparison of fiber and optical interconnect receivers plus an innovative optoelectronical PLL circuit as well as a summary are finally included.
