Photodiodes InGaAs

Very high speed PIN


Photodiodes offering a high responsivity and good linearity over a bandwidth exceeding 50 GHz.

Application
  • DPSK dual-PIN DTIA for long haul 40 Gb/s WDM transmission systems
PIN performances
  • High responsivity (>0.7 A/W over C-band)
  • Low polarisation loss (TE/TM<0.4 dB)
  • High speed operation (f3db > 40 GHz)
System performances for 43 Gb/s DPSK
  • Excellent OSNR performance (18.5 dB/0.1 nm)
  • ~ 1.5dB margin wrt BOL specs
  • wide CDR threshold margin
Top view of a waveguide pin photodiode designed for 40 Gbit/s applications. The anti-reflection coated dry-etched input facet (top center) is offset from the cleaved facet, allowing collective on wafer processing. Light is evanescently coupled from the multimode diluted quantum well waveguide into the 5 x 25µm 2 absorption region.
