A monolithically integrated, optically clocked 10 GS/s sampler with a bandwidth of >30 GHz and a jitter of <30 fs in photonic SiGe BiCMOS technology

This paper presents an optically clocked 10 GS/ssampler monolithically integrated in a photonic 0.25 μm SiGeBiCMOS technology, which uses an ultra-stable optical pulse train generated by a hybrid mode-locked laser to sample an electrical signal. The integrated circuit includes optical waveguides, as...

Description
Summary:This paper presents an optically clocked 10 GS/ssampler monolithically integrated in a photonic 0.25 μm SiGeBiCMOS technology, which uses an ultra-stable optical pulse train generated by a hybrid mode-locked laser to sample an electrical signal. The integrated circuit includes optical waveguides, as well as a grating coupler, Germanium photodiodes with a bandwidth of > 50GHz, and an integrate-and-dump sampler. Experimental results demonstrate an analog bandwidth exceeding 30GHz, a jitter of
