Semiconductor Devices for High-Speed Optoelectronics Giovanni Ghione is an English-language textbook aimed at professionals in electronics and opto-electronics. It covers essential aspects of high-speed electronic and opto-electronic devices and their applications in optical communication systems.
This reference work provides an extensive overview of advanced device design, circuit applications, and influencing factors such as noise in sources and receivers. The content includes, among other things, semiconductors, optical properties, high-frequency circuits, transistors, detectors, sources, and modulators.
The book discusses both active devices, such as heterostructure FETs and bipolar transistors, as well as passive components for integrated high-frequency circuits. Recent developments for devices suitable for 40 Gbps systems are also covered in detail.
Through introductions and practice questions, the work is also accessible to readers without a specific background in opto-electronics. It connects with fields such as electronic devices and materials, materials science, and electronics engineering & communications engineering.
