GaAs optoelectronic integrated circuits for gigabit ethernet

摘要

The ability to integrate MSM photodiodes on the same chips with trans impedance preamplifiers differentiates Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) from Silicon for Gigabit Ethernet applications. It also signals one of the first practical applications of optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs). In this talk, we'll review the explosive Gigabit Ethernet market and the various GaAs IC's and OEICs that are poised to serve the market.
