Low-noise optical differential receivers are described. Such differential receivers may include a differential amplifier having first and second inputs and first and second outputs, and four photodetectors. A first and a second of such photodetectors are coupled to the first input of the differential amplifier, and a third and a fourth of such photodetectors are coupled to the second input of the differential amplifier. The anode of the first photodetector and the cathode of the second photodetector are coupled to the first input of the differential amplifier. The cathode of the third photodetector and the anode of the fourth photodetector are coupled to the second input of the differential amplifier. The optical receiver may involve two stages of signal subtraction, which may significantly increase noise immunity.

A low voltage inverter-based amplifier includes a first inverter-based amplification module, a second inverter-based amplification module, an inverter-based feedforward module, and an inverter-based common mode detector. The first inverter-based amplification module receives an input signal. The second inverter-based amplification module receives the input signal through the inverter-based feedforward module, and receives a first output signal from the first inverter-based amplification module. The inverter-based common mode detector receives an amplified signal from the second inverter-based amplification module, and outputs a feedback signal to the second inverter-based amplification module. Since the first and the second inverter-based amplification modules are both inverter-based, the supply voltage of the low voltage inverter-based amplifier is provided to supply one PMOS and one NMOS for normal operation. Therefore, a number of cascade MOSs of the low voltage inverter-based amplifier is two, and the low voltage inverter-based amplifier can be normally operated under the low supply voltage.
