Abstract

On a chip carrier, on a printed circuit board or in a pre-amplifier circuit, a resistor or an impedance is connected to either or both of the anode side and the cathode side of a photo detector. A bypass capacitor of bias power supply for photo detector is grounded either directly or via a resistor or an impedance.

Claims (23)

1. An optical signal receiving module, comprising:

a photo detector for converting an optical signal into an electrical signal and outputting said electrical signal;

a pre-amplifier circuit for amplifying said electrical signals;

a first resistor for controlling a frequency band of said electrical signal to improve a frequency characteristic of at least an output of the pre-amplifier circuit;

a bias power supply circuit for photo detector for providing a bias voltage to said photo detector,

a bypass capacitor for forming a bypass circuit between said bias power supply for photo detector and a ground; and

a second resistor for adjusting the frequency band of signals within the module,

wherein said first resistor is connected to either or both of the anode side and the cathode side of said photo detector, and said second resistor is connected to said bypass capacitor in series.

2. An optical signal receiving module, comprising:

a photo detector which is mounted on a chip carrier and converts an optical signal into an electrical signal;

a pre-amplifier circuit which is mounted on a printed circuit board and amplifies said electrical signal;

a first resistor which controlles a frequency band of said electrical signal to improve a frequency characteristic of at least an output of the pre-amplifier circuit;

a bias power supply circuit for photo detector which provides a bias voltage to said photo detector;

a bypass capacitor which forms a bypass circuit between said bias power supply for photo detector and a ground; and

a second resistor which adjusts a frequency band of said electrical signal,

wherein said first resistor is connected to either or both of the anode side and the cathode side of said photo detector and arranged on either or both of said chip carrier side and said printed circuit board, and said second resistor is connected to said bypass capacitor in series.

3. An optical signal receiving module, comprising:

a photo detector which converts an optical signal into an electrical signal;

a pre-amplifier circuit which amplifies said electrical signal;

a first impedance which controlles a frequency band of said electrical signal to improve a frequency characteristic of at least an output of the pre-amplifier circuit;

a bias power supply circuit for photo detector which provides a bias voltage to said photo detector; a bypass capacitor which forms a bypass circuit between said bias power supply for photo detector and a ground; and
