Abstract
Conventional direct-detection optical receivers are typically realized as high-impedance or high-transimpedance designs (e.g., Ref. 1). These design approaches offer excellent performance, but the former has limited dynamic range, and the latter can have significant Johnson noise impairment. At bit rates below approximately 20 Mb/s, optical feedback techniques provide substantial sensitivity improvements2 but are not suitable for high-bit-rate applications.
