Abstract
Within the next few years the backbone networks of present photonic-based telecommunication systems will be upgraded to 40 Gb/s data rates [1]. For this aim high-speed photoreceivers, especially for 1.55 pm wavelength, are required, which support RZ as well as NRZ coding. This work presents and discusses recent realizations of 40 Gb/s photoreceivers OEICs (modules) and conceptional extensions to even higher bitrates, to serve forthcoming TDM system applications exceeding a 160 Gb/s single-channel bitrate.
