摘要: A low-capacitance waveguide-integrated photodiode on InP with a minimized absorber length is presented. In order to maintain high quantum efficiency, an optical matching layer exploiting mode beating effects employed. Its optimization leads twofold enhanced external responsivity of 0.5 A/W at 1.55-/spl mu/m wavelength in accordance simulation. The reduced p-n junction capacitance enables 3-dB bandwidths up 120 GHz mainly limited due carrier transit time effects.
