Abstract

See full text

Techniques for implementing a differential differencing TIA for coherent applications are disclosed. A method includes receiving first and second optical signals from a 90 degree optical hybrid that receives a coherent optical signal, wherein the first and second optical signals each include one pair of sum and difference signals output by the 90 degree optical hybrid, generating, based on the first optical signal and from a first photo diode, a first differential signal, generating, based on the second optical signal and from a second photo diode, a second differential signal, differentially transconducting the first and second differential signals to produce first and second transconducted signals, performing a differencing operation on the first and second differential transconducted signals to produce a combined differential-differencing transconducted signal that is representative of the first optical signal and the second optical signal, and outputting the combined differential transconducted signal as a differential output.
