High-Power High-Speed Photodetectors—Design, Analysis, and Experimental Demonstration
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel velocity-matched distributed photodetector (VMDP) is proposed to simultaneously achieve high saturation photocurrent and broad bandwidth. Theoretical analysis on the tradeoff between saturation power and bandwidth shows that the VMDP offers fundamental advantages over conventional photodetectors. A comprehensive theoretical model has been developed for the design and simulation of the VMDP. Experimentally, the VMDP with very high saturation (56-mA) photocurrent and instrument-limited 3-dB bandwidth (49 GHz) has been demonstrated. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the VMDP is very attractive for high-performance microwave photonic links and high-power optical microwave applications.

متن کاملExperimental Study of a High Speed Micro Waterwheel
Waterwheels are the oldest types of hydraulic machines. These turbines are of relatively simple design, large diameter, low rotational speed and high torques. But applying them as micro hydros of high speed and small diameter is yet to be explored. A micro hydro waterwheel of one meter diameter was designed and manufactured at the Iranian esearc†h Organization for Science and Technology (IROST...

This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...
