Circuit with passive components for high-speed drive of an optoelectronic device

Circuit for high-speed drive of an optoelectronic device including at least one optoelectronic diode (12), wherein said circuit comprises:

• a voltage square wave pulses generator (15, 16) exhibiting edges of duration shorter than 400 ps,
• a pulse-shaping circuit (17) for shaping of driving pulses of the optoelectronic device, said pulse-shaping circuit (17) including:
• an output (18) that is suitable to be connected to the optoelectronic device,
• and an input (19) connected to the voltage square wave pulses generator (15, 16) and receiving the voltage square wave pulses formed by said generator,
• between a terminal (19a or 19b) of said input and a terminal (18a or 18b) of said output connected in series to a terminal (13 or 14) for energizing said optoelectronic device, connected in parallel in relation to one another:
• a first branch (20) made up of a passive rectifier circuit (22a, 22b) with non-zero threshold voltage, said passive rectifier circuit being in series in the first branch and in the forward direction in relation to said terminal (13 or 14) for energizing the optoelectronic device,
• a second capacitive branch (21).
