A High-Speed Grating-Assistant SOA-PIN Photodetector With High Sensitivity
Abstract
With an increased demand for high speed and high sensitivity in optical communication system applications, semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-PIN photodetectors and AlInAsSb, InGaAsInAlAs, or GeSi based avalanche photodiodes (APDs) have attracted extensive attentions. Nevertheless, their gain-bandwidth products and sensitivities are limited either by the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise of the SOA or by the long avalanche buildup …
