Abstract
Optical networks and their requirement for ever-increasing data rates provide a continuing challenge for electronic circuits. Here we review a number of circuits, implemented in Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (HBTs), and technologies that have been developed for 40 Gbit/s optical interconnection. These approaches include, multielement arrays for freespace, or guided transmission, Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) of several channels onto different wavelengths, and circuits that attempt to realized 40 Gbit/sec modulation rates directly by Time Division Multiplexing (TDM). The circuit design challenges presented by these various approaches to 40 Gbit transmission will be covered as well.
