Abstract
An optical receiver comprises a PD for receiving an incident light from an optical fiber, a preamplifier IC for amplifying an electrical signal from the PD, a submount on which the PD and the preamplifier IC are mounted on the same plane, and a package on which the submount is mounted. The PD and the preamplifier IC are directly connected to each other by a wire, and these components are both mounted on the same submount. Therefore, the distance between the PD and the preamplifier IC can be reduced, and parasitic inductance, parasitic capacitance, etc. can be greatly reduced. As a result, an optical receiver is provided which has reduced parasitic inductance and parasitic capacitance, and which is optimum for high speed response.
