Abstract

This paper describes state-of-the-art of high-speed electronic device and IC technologies for very high-speed lightwave communications systems. The technology of interest is for over 40-Gbit/s transmitter and receiver operations. Device technology including Si-Ge, GaAs-based, and InP-based heterostructure transistors as well as circuit design technology including analog/digital/mixed-signal and optoelectronic IC's are reviewed. The speed limiting factors are discussed to address the future trends toward 100 Gbit/s and beyond.
