Characteristics of InP/InGaAs HPT-based Optically Injection-Locked Self-oscillating Optoelectronic Mixers and Their Influence on RoF System Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 30GHz optically injection-locked self-oscillating optoelectronic mixer (OIL-SOM) is implemented with a high-performance InP/InGaAs heterojunction phototransistor. The sub-harmonic conversion efficiency and phase noise characteristics of OIL-SOM are investigated and used for analyzing OIL-SOM-based 60GHz radio-on-fiber downlink data transmission performance. The OIL-SOM characteristics provide lower and upper boundaries for the input optical LO power range within which the link performance does not significantly depend on input optical LO power.

Experimental Investigation of Thin Film InGaAsP Coolers
Most optoelectronic devices for long haul optical communications are based on the InP/InGaAsP family of materials. Thin film coolers based on the same material system can be monolithically integrated with optoelectronic devices such as lasers, switches, and photodetectors to control precisely the device characteristics such as wavelength and optical power. Superlattice structures of InGaAs/InP ...
متن کاملDesign and analysis of In0.53Ga0.47As/InP symmetric gain optoelectronic mixers
A symmetric gain optoelectronic mixer based on an indium gallium arsenide (In0.53Ga0.47As)/indium phosphide (InP) symmetric heterojunction phototransistor structure is being investigated for chirpedAM laser detection and ranging (LADAR) systems operating in the ‘‘eye-safe” 1.55 lm wavelength range. Signal processing of a chirped-AM LADAR system is simplified if the photodetector in the receiver...

This paper reports on a planar integrated technology which, unlike previous approaches, utilizes InP-based materials and airbridge technology to reduce parasitics by avoiding the use of a bridge-supporting dielectric. Verticalheterojunction varactors (VHV) and mixers were grown by the in-house Metalorganic-Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) system on S.1. InP substrates. A novel process is prese...

InGaAs-based Metal Semiconductor Metal (MSM) Photodetectors were fabricated and tested as photodetectors and Opto-electronic mixers. A comparison of various processing schemes for MSM InAlAs/InGaAs photodetectors on InP substrates was conducted to minimize the dark current. InAlAs Schottky Enhanced Layers (SEL) was employed on the InGaAs-based MSMs to enhance the barrier height to reduce the da...
