This book describes the newest implementations of integrated photodiodes fabricated in nanometer standard CMOS technologies. It also includes the required fundamentals, the state-of-the-art, and the design of high-performance laser drivers, transimpedance amplifiers, equalizers, and limiting amplifiers fabricated in nanometer CMOS technologies. This book shows the newest results for the performance of integrated optical receivers, laser drivers, modulator drivers and optical sensors in nanometer standard CMOS technologies. Nanometer CMOS technologies rapidly advanced, enabling the implementation of integrated optical receivers for high data rates of several Giga-bits per second and of high-pixel count optical imagers and sensors. In particular, low cost silicon CMOS optoelectronic integrated circuits became very attractive because they can be extensively applied to short-distance optical communications, such as local area network, chip-to-chip and board-to-board interconnects as well as to imaging and medical sensors.

Abstract: Die Akademie für Raumforschung und Landesplanung (ARL) ist eine Einrichtung mit besonderen Funktionen. Im Unterschied zu einem herkömmlichen Forschungsinstitut bündelt die ARL Kompetenzen auf dem Gebiet der Raumforschung und Raumentwicklung in einem Netzwerk, das aus Wissenschaftlern und Praktikern besteht. Die Mitwirkung in diesem Netzwerk erfolgt ehrenamtlich. Hier setzt die zentrale Forschungsfrage dieses Bandes an: Lässt sich die unentgeltliche Tätigkeit im Sinne eines Inputs in Forschungsleistungen systematisch erfassen und kann man seine Bedeutung für den Output, also für die Produkte der ARL - im Wesentlichen Publikationen und Veranstaltungen - abschätzen? Der Band beginnt mit eher grundsätzlichen Anmerkungen zu unbezahlter Tätigkeit in der Wissenschaft aus einer ökonomischen Perspektive. Es folgt die Darstellung der Ergebnisse einer empirischen Studie zur systematischen Erfassung des Inputs. Der dritte Aufsatz verknüpft das empirisch ermittelte Mengengerüst unentgeltlicher
