The electro-optic/magneto-optic (EO/MO) probing techniques are promising toward this purpose since one can take its attractive natures such as wide-bandwidth, high-sensitivity, low invasiveness, and relatively high-spatial-resolution.","PeriodicalId":18008,"journal":{"name":"LEOS 2001. 14th Annual Meeting of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society (Cat.

In this paper, we report our results on the high power handling capability of metamorphic photodiodes under high power optical illumination up to 10 dBm. In ultra-high speed optical fiber communication systems operating at 40 Gbit/s or beyond, the photodiodes that can handle high optical input power are needed because an EDFA (erbium doped fiber amplifier) is often placed in front of the photoreceiver. It is imperative to study the frequency response of the metamorphic photodiodes under high power optical illumination to prove that these photodiodes based on metamorphic technology can be a strong candidate for high speed optical fiber communications.","PeriodicalId":18008,"journal":{"name":"LEOS 2001. 14th Annual Meeting of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society (Cat.

In this way the modal gain is increased, improving the characteristics of the laser.
