چکیده
A uni-traveling carrier photodetector (UTC-PD), heterogeneously integrated on silicon, is demonstrated. It is fabricated in an InP-based photonic membrane bonded on a silicon wafer, using a novel double-sided processing scheme. A very high 3 dB bandwidth of beyond 67 GHz is obtained, together with a responsivity of 0.7 A/W at 1.55 μm wavelength. In addition, open eye diagrams at 54 Gb/s are observed. These results promise high speed applications using a novel full-functionality photonic platform on silicon.

InP-based waveguide photodiodes heterogeneously integrated on silicon-on-insulator for photonic microwave generation.
High-linearity modified uni-traveling carrier photodiodes on silicon-on-insulator with low AM-to-PM conversion factor are demonstrated. The devices deliver more than 2.5 dBm RF output power up to 40 GHz and have an output third order intercept point of 30 dBm at 20 GHz. Photodiode arrays exceed a saturation current-bandwidth-product of 630 mA · GHz and reach unsaturated RF output power levels o...
متن کاملImproving thermal performance of a UTC photodetector in the IMOS platform
Recently a uni-traveling carrier photodetector (UTC-PD) with a 3 dB bandwidth beyond 67 GHz was presented [1]. The device shows good performance up to 3 mA of photocurrent but experiences thermal failure (see Fig. 1a) at higher currents due to the poor heat extraction in membrane-type devices. Improvements to the thermal design are proposed that promise to double the possible photocurrent befor...
متن کاملMeasurement of intermodulation distortion in high-linearity photodiodes.
Accurately characterizing third order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) in high-linearity photodiodes is challenging. Two measurement techniques are evaluated-a standard two-tone measurement and a more complicated three-tone measurement technique to measure IMD3. A model of the measurement system is developed and used to analyze the limitations of the two techniques in determining the distortio...

Narrow-linewidth lasers are a key component of photonic microwave signal generators, as the width of the generated RF signal is equal to the beat note of used lasers. Heterogeneous silicon photonics platform opens up a possibility of improving the coherence of fully integrated photonic microwave generators by providing means to separate the photon resonator and absorbing active medium; improvin...

We report silicon waveguide butt-coupled p-i-n InGaAs photodetectors epitaxially grown on silicon-on-insulator substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The InGaAs absorption layer that is lattice-matched to InP is selectively grown on patterned SOI substrates, employing metamorphic growth of GaAs and InP buffer layers. We measure a dark current of 2.5 μA and a responsivity of 0.17 ...
