Optoelectronic Circuits in Nanometer CMOS Technology [Hardcover]

This book describes the newest implementations ofintegrated photodiodes fabricated in nanometer standard CMOS technologies. Italso includes the required fundamentals, the state-of-the-art, and the designof high-performance laser drivers, transimpedance amplifiers, equalizers, andlimiting amplifiers fabricated in nanometer CMOS technologies. This book showsthe newest results for the performance of integrated optical receivers, laserdrivers, modulator drivers and optical sensors in nanometer standard CMOStechnologies. Nanometer CMOS technologies rapidly advanced, enablingthe implementation of integrated optical receivers for high data rates ofseveral Giga-bits per second and of high-pixel count optical imagers andsensors. In particular, low cost silicon CMOS optoelectronic integratedcircuits became very attractive because they can be extensively applied toshort-distance optical communications, such as local area network, chip-to-chipand board-to-board interconnects as well as to imaging and medical sensors.
