ABSTRACT:
An optical receiver apparatus and method for receiving optical signals and for generating output signals is disclosed. In particular, a photoconductor is illuminated with a preset beam before an input beam is incident on a detector to reset an input FET. An optical receiver according to the invention controls the voltage swings and the allowed voltages at the input stage, and can be monolithically integrated to allow uniform operation across a semiconductor chip and between circuits on different chips.
