摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the use of phototransistors for lightwave systems and photonic circuit applications. The basic operating characteristics a bipolar phototransistor are described optical gain common-base common-emitter current gains determined from transport equations. derives model noise heterojunction (HPT) to project sensitivity an receiver with HPT in front end. concludes discussion review work novel structures integration HPTs other electrooptic components. A description field-effect transistor-like is presented along results that have been obtained so far.
