Abstract
We report on 10-Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3ae)
fiber-optic transmission at 1.3- m wavelengh utilizing high-speed
GaNAsSb uni-travelling-carrier photodetectors (PDs) grown on
GaAs substrate.With an optical bandgap of 0.88 eV, the PDs are
suitable for near-infrared operation up to wavelengths of about
1380 nm. The dc responsivity and 3-dB cut-off frequency of the
non-antireflection-coated PD at 1.3- µm wavelength are 0.35 A/W
and 14 GHz, respectively. Using this GaAs-based GaNAsSb PD,
an error-free (bit-error rate = 10sup12 transmission of 10-Gb
Ethernet data at 1.3- µm wavelength is successfully demonstrated.
