Integrated CMOS Circuits for Optical Communications (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2004)

This book presents several circuits that are required for the full integration of an optical transmitter in standard CMOS. The main emphasis is placed on high-speed receivers with a bitrate of up to 1 Gb/s. The possibility of including the photodiode in a receiver is investigated and the problems encountered are discussed.
