Abstract

Most of the optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) described in this book are analog circuits. We, therefore, will restrict ourselves to the design of analog integrated circuits. The exclusion of the design of digital integrated circuits, furthermore, seems to be justified because there are many books describing this topic (for instance [1,2,3]). The design of analog integrated circuits is, for instance, described in [4]. It will be, therefore, sufficient to give here an overview on the aspects being most relevant for the design of analog OEICs. Since photocurrents have to be converted to signal voltages in most applications, the transimpedance amplifier will be discussed in some detail, especially with respect to its implementation in OEICs. A new \(\pi \) model for such a transimpedance amplifier also will be introduced. Furthermore, the basics of electronic noise and sensitivity of optical receivers are applied to point out the possibilities of silicon OEICs. The Poisson statistics and the quantum limit are added, since they allow to eliminate the electronic noise with SPAD receivers, which will be described in Chap. 6.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This will cause some limitations for optical free-space communication in presence of background light.
