Abstract

An amplifier, a circuit, and an optical communication system are provided. The disclosed amplifier may include a first transistor receiving a first portion of an input signal received at the amplifier, a second transistor receiving a second portion of the input signal, an automatic gain control signal that is dynamically adjustable in response to variations in an output of the amplifier, and a varactor that has its capacitance adjusted by changes in the automatic gain control signal and, as a result, adjusts a position of a pole in a transfer function of the amplifier.
