High-Speed Photodetectors for Microwave Photonics

Abstract

This paper reviews high-power photodiodes, waveguide photodetectors, and integrated photodiode-antenna emitters with bandwidths up to 150 GHz. Results from heterogeneous III-V photodiodes on silicon and Ge-on-Si photodiode arrays for analog applications are presented.
