| Abstract: | The authors discuss the design and performance of monolithic ICs for multigigabit lightwave transmission systems including direct detection and coherent detection. The required function and performance of a lightwave transmitter and receiver are discussed. The fabricated ICs and their application to the transmission system are shown in a direct system. Microwave monolithic ICs for lightwave heterodyne detection and an interconnection technique are introduced. Future trends of ICs are discussed |
