Abstract
Many applications for optical interconnection either require more data rate than serial links offer or are architected for parallel line (data bus) implementations. Essential to low-cost optical bus implementations are monolithic arrays of photo-receivers with high yield and uniform properties. We present the 32-channel optical receiver array fabricated in 1.2-μm GaAs E/D MESFET technology, which is the improved version of our previous work.1,2 Each channel runs at the data rate of 1 Gbit/s, equivalently providing 32 Gbit/s with 32 channels. Over the past few years, it has been shown that optical receivers with integrated photo-diodes can be manufactured at low cost, and produds for computer data links have been made.3
