Abstract
Avalanche photodetectors (APDs) integrated in a silicon platform have the potential to significantly improve the link budget of optical interconnects compared to conventional p i n photodetectors, while only requiring CMOS-friendly biasing voltages. We demonstrate an optical receiver based on a 1310 nm < 5V Germanium APD and a low-power transimpedance amplifier that offers a 5-to-6dB sensitivity improvement compared to operation in PIN-mode. Sub-FEC transmission in an amplifier-less link over more than 42 km at 40 Gb/s and over more than 10 km at 50 Gb/s is shown with a commercial electro-absorption modulated laser as transmitter.
