English abstract:
fully integrated 0.35-μm CMOS optical data receiver with a 50-μm diameter single-photon avalanche-diode and a cascoded gating circuit enabling a maximum excess bias voltage of 6.6 V (to obtain a high
photon detection efficiency) is presented. To optimize the sensitivity in presence of dark counts and after-pulsing a decision threshold of 2-5 photon counts can be selected. For red light (635 nm) and nonreturn-to-zero modulation the sensitivity is −64 dBm for 20 Mb/s with 100 MHz clock frequency and −57 dBm for 50 Mb/s with 250 MHz.
