Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical receiver circuit includes a light receiving element to convert an optical signal into a current signal, a submount substrate on which the light receiving element is mounted, a wiring connected to an anode pad of the light receiving element and a wire connected to a preamplifier on the submount substrate, a wiring to which a bias voltage is applied on the submount substrate; a wiring connected to a cathode pad of the light receiving element on the submount substrate; and a resistor connected to the wiring to serve as a path when the bias voltage is applied to the light receiving element via the wiring on the submount substrate. A resistance value of the resistor is determined such that a resonance peak between the preamplifier and ground is suppressed and that oscillation in the preamplifier is suppressed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An optical receiver circuit comprising: a photoelectric transducer to convert an optical signal into a current signal; a submount substrate on which the photoelectric transducer is mounted; a first wiring connected to an anode pad of the photoelectric transducer and a wire connected to a preamplifier on the submount substrate; a second wiring to which a bias voltage is applied on the submount substrate; a filter circuit to remove noise from the bias voltage; a third wiring connected to a cathode pad of the photoelectric transducer on the submount substrate; and a first resistive element connected to the third wiring to serve as a path when the bias voltage is applied to the photoelectric transducer via the second wiring on the submount substrate, wherein a resistance value of the first resistive element is determined such that a resonance peak between the preamplifier and ground is suppressed and that oscillation in the preamplifier is suppressed, the bias voltage is applied to the second wiring via the filter circuit, the bias voltage is applied to the photoelectric transducer via the filter circuit, the second wiring, the first resistive element, and the third wiring, and the filter circuit includes a capacitor and a resistive element connected in series between the bias voltage and the second wiring. 2. An optical receiver comprising the optical receiver circuit according to claim 1 . 3. An optical terminal device comprising the optical receiver according to claim 2 . 4. An optical communication system comprising the optical terminal device according to claim 3 .
