Optoelectronic Based Assorted Optical Receivers

Aparna Singh, Jyoti Kedia

Abstract


At gigascale integration the interconnects are major bottlenecks where optics seems to be a better alternative for use in optoelectronics. As it is very true that silicon electronics is going to increase in performance and complexity both, so as to compete with this rapidly evolving technology, the aim of optoelectronics is to complement it. Therefore optical interconnect devices for both input and output is a desirable method for making optoelectronics. This paper presents study and comparative analysis of optical receiver for use in optoelectronic Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI). There are various optoelectronic VLSI receivers designed like diode clamped receiver, transimpedance receiver with single beam and dual beam and sense amplifier based receiver. On the basis of their performance characteristics all the available receivers are compared.

Keywords
