High-Speed POF Receivers
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work we present a high-speed optical receiver with external large-area photodiode. The optical receiver is realized in 0.35μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The input circuit is a two-transistor transimpedance amplifier using an common-emitter and an emitter-follower configuration. An external silicon PIN photodiode of a squared area of 0.25mm2 with a rise time of 0.4ns at 850nm light is used. The POF-receiver offers quick response for 1.25Gbps optical wire-line access networks. In addition a high sensitivity is also required, where the receiver presented reaches a sensitivity of -26dBm at the optical input using low-cost silicon-based material only. Key-Words: Low-Noise, Plastic-Optical-Fiber, external large-diameter photodiode, BiCMOS, 0.35μm-SiGe, optical interconnects, last-mile.

Effect of viscosity on swimming by the lateral and polar flagella of Vibrio alginolyticus.
By using mutants of Vibrio alginolyticus with only a polar flagellum (Pof+ Laf-) or only lateral flagella (Pof- Laf+), we examined the relationship between swimming speed and the viscosity of the medium for each flagellar system. Pof+ Laf- cells could not swim in the high-viscosity environment (ca. 200 cP) in which Pof- Laf+ cells swam at 20 microns/s. The Pof- Laf+ cells swam at about 20 micro...
متن کاملPlastic Optical Fiber Coupler with High Index Contrast Waveguide Taper
A simple low-cost Y-branch plastic optical fiber (POF) coupler which can be assembled easily by the end users has been developed. The acrylic-based Y-Branch POF coupler consists of input POF fiber, a middle high index contrast waveguide taper and output POF fibers. The optical device is based on a 1 × 2 Y-branch coupler design with a middle high index contrast waveguide taper. Nonsequential ray...
متن کاملRibbon plastic optical fiber linked optical transmitter and receiver modules featuring a high alignment tolerance.
Ribbon plastic optical fiber (POF) linked four-channel optical transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) modules have been proposed and realized featuring an excellent alignment tolerance. The two modules share a common configuration involving an optical sub-assembly (OSA) with vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs)/photodetectors (PDs), and their driver ICs, which are integrated onto a sing...
متن کاملThe Presence of Anti Thyroid and Anti Ovarian Auto-Antibodies in Familial Premature Ovarian Failure
Background Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a disorder of multi causal etiology. Autoimmunity has been proposed as a mechanism for some cases of ovarian follicle dysfunction which is evident in POF. The aim of this study was to identify the level of auto-antibodies in POF and familial POF patients. MaterialsAndMethods In this study, auto-antibodies including anti-ovarian antibody (AOA), anti ...
متن کاملGraded-Index Plastic Optical Fiber with High Mechanical Properties Enabling Easy Network Installations. I
A doped poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)– based graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI POF) with high mechanical strength is reported for the first time. Although the POF is generally believed to have a good mechanical flexibility even if it has a large-core diameter, such a high mechanical strength has been provided by making the polymer chains in the POF highly oriented in its axial direction...
