Impact of double Rayleigh backscatter noise on digital and analog fiber systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived an exact analytical expression for the noise power spectral density due to double Rayleigh backscattering in standard single mode fiber-optic transmission systems in terms of the autocorrelation function of the transmitted optical electric field.

Heterojunction phototransistors for long‐wavelength optical receivers

TL;DR: In this article, the InP/InGaAs heterojunction phototransistors are shown to be promising photodetectors for long-wavelength optical receivers, and the gain characteristics of these devices were shown to reflect the benefit of a wide bandgap emitter as well as the effects of recombination centers near the base-emitter heter junction.

Small-area high-speed InP/InGaAs phototransistor

Abstract: We describe the fabrication and characteristics of a small‐area (diameter ≃20 μm) InP/InGaAs heterojunction phototransistor, a promising photodetector/preamplifier for long‐wavelength optical receivers. The high sensitivity (hfe ≃100 at 20‐nW incident power) and small junction capacitance (≲0.2 pF) of the device combine to produce a gain‐bandwidth product in excess of 1.7 GHz.
