Abstract
In this chapter we introduce optical receivers with POF equalizers to enhance the performance for giga-bit communication over SI-POF. A single-chip fully integrated optical receiver with an integrated POF-equalizer will be introduced. The integration of large-area photodiodes, TIA, POF equalizer and 50 Ω driver on a single chip enhances the performance and lowers the cost for giga-bit communication over SI-POF. The different types of SI-POF equalizers for giga-bit transmission will be discussed. The implementation, experimental results, and discussions of these POF equalizers will be presented.
