Abstract

An optical signal receiver for rapid and error free translation of optical signals into electrical signals is disclosed. The receiver is coupled (12) to a light source. The light source is amplified (14) and then split into two segments (18, 20). One of the segments is delayed by a specific amount of time. Both segments are optically coupled to a photo detector (24, 26). Each photo detector is coupled in parallel and are connected by two output terminals (28, 30). When the voltage output by each photo detector is equal, the output terminals are balanced and will not have any voltage. The circuit will provide a voltage output on the terminal only on differential photocurrents sensed by the detector elements. The quiescent magnitude of the voltage output is a function of the value of the reverse bias voltage applied by the two voltage sources.
