Abstract
Based on the equivalent circuit model of a two-port optical receiver front-end, the relationship between the equivalent input noise current spectral density and the noise figure is analyzed. The derived relationship has universal validity for determining the equivalent input noise current spectral density for optical receiver designs, as verified by measuring a 155 Mb/s high-impedance optical receiver front-end. Good agreement between calculated and simulated results has been achieved.
