High-power, high-speed for RF photonics applications

Abstract

There are a growing number of RF photonics applications. In these systems photodiodes with high saturation current and high linearity enable high link-gain, low noise figure, and high dynamic range. To date, the best performance has been achieved with charge-compensated modified uni-traveling carrier (CC-MUTC) photodiodes. This talk will describe the design and performance characteristics of these photodiodes.
