InP-based waveguide photodiodes heterogeneously integrated on silicon-on-insulator for photonic microwave generation.
High-linearity modified uni-traveling carrier photodiodes on silicon-on-insulator with low AM-to-PM conversion factor are demonstrated. The devices deliver more than 2.5 dBm RF output power up to 40 GHz and have an output third order intercept point of 30 dBm at 20 GHz. Photodiode arrays exceed a saturation current-bandwidth-product of 630 mA · GHz and reach unsaturated RF output power levels of 10 dBm at 20 GHz.
