A fiber-optic receiver employs a very high-gain, wide- bandwidth transimpedance amplifier. The amplifier detects and amplifies signals that are only tens of nA in amplitude. Any unwanted signal currents that couple into the receiver circuitry cause a decrease in the receiver's sensitivity and can also degrade the perfor- mance of the receivers loss of signal (FLAG) circuit.
