Abstract
The design of the optical receiver is an integral part of any optical interconnection scheme. The performance and information handling capacity of the free-space optical link depend to a large extent on the receiver's gain, speed, power consumption, and area requirements. In general, these four parameters can be traded off against each other. A framework has been developed for modeling receivers based on digital CMOS technology, and optimizing the design to minimize either the optical power requirement or the total power requirement.
