A Fully Integrated 20-Gbs Optoelectronic Transceiver Implemented in a Standard 0

Abstract

A dual-channel 10 Gb/s per channel single-chip opto- electronic transceiver has been demonstrated in a 0.13- m CMOS SOI technology. The transceiver integrates conventionally discrete optoelectronic functions such as high-speed 10-Gb/s electro-optic modulation and 10-Gb/s optical reception on an SOI substrate using a standard CMOS process. The high optical index contrast between silicon /40 /61/51 /53/41and its oxide /40 /61/49 /53/41allows for very large scale integration of optical devices,
