چکیده
Optical transimpedance receivers implemented in CMOS VLSI technologies are modeled and optimized for freespace optoelectronic interconnections. Sensitivity, bandwidth, power dissipation, and circuit area are analyzed for receivers using three different submicron CMOS processes. A comparison with the circuit noise limited optical power indicates that, for digital computing applications, the receiver sensitivity is limited by the gain-bandwidth product of the receiver amplifiers and the necessary noise margin of logic circuits.

Parallel optical interconnects with mixed-signal OEIC and fibre arrays for high-speed communication
We present a system for direct parallel optical data communication between integrated circuits on neighboured printed circuit boards based on a monolithic integrated CMOS smart pixel array, fibre arrays, and VCSELs. The advantage of our system versus backplane systems is the direct data transfer through the space avoiding planar and area consuming interconnections. The detector chip allows a da...
متن کاملSliding Banyan Network - Lightwave Technology, Journal of
The Sliding Banyan network is described and evaluated. The novel three-dimensional (3-D) multistage network topology employs a macro-lenslet array in a retroreflective configuration to effect the required shuffle link patterns across a single two-dimensional (2-D) multichip array of “smart pixels.” An electronic deflection routing scheme, based on simple destinationtag self-routing, is employed...
متن کاملDesign, Fabrication, and Performance of High-Speed Monolithically Integrated InAlAs/InGaAs/InP MSM/H - Lightwave Technology, Journal of
A detailed study of the performance of monolithically integrated photoreceivers based on metal-semiconductormetal (MSM) photodetectors (PD’s) and HEMT’s is undertaken. Two different stacked-layer approaches to integrating MSM–PD’s with HEMT’s are investigated, and the performance of detectors and HEMT’s for each approach is compared. The structure with the MSM layers grown on top of the HEMT la...
متن کاملOptimization of Array Factor in Linear Arrays Using Modified Genetic Algorithm
The array factor (sidelobe level, SLL) of a linear array is optimized using modified continuous genetic algorithms in this work. The amplitudes and phases of the currents as well as the separation of the antennas are all taken as variables to be controlled. The results of the design using modified GA versions are compared with other methods. Two design problems were studied using several contin...
متن کاملCMOS "smart pixel" for free-space optical communication
Fully integrated imaging receivers present a method of low power free-space optical communication with advantages over radio frequency and single element optical communication for a variety of network scenarios. This paper discusses the theoretical performance of such receivers and the design of a single “smart pixel” for use in a 2.5 Mbps integrated CMOS imaging receiver. The receiver has a si...
