Equalization of Integrated Optical Photodiodes using an Infinite Impulse Response Decision Feedback Equalizer

This thesis examines the challenges in creating a fully integrated optical receiver. Due to the nature of silicon, 850nm light exhibits a poor impulse response when directed at an on-die photodiode. Using a modified decision feedback equalizer with an infinite impulse response filter in the feedback...
