10-Gbit/s Burst-mode Receiver Integrated Circuits for Broadband Optical Access Networks

摘要

We introduce burst-mode receiver integrated circuits that can respond instantaneously to a suddenly arriving optical signal and receive it correctly. They are suitable for the next-generation optical access system (10G-EPON: 10-Gbit/s Ethernet passive optical network), which requires a receiver that can receive high-speed (10-Gbit/s) optical burst signals, unlike typical receivers which receive continuous signals.
