Abstract
A high-power, high-bandwidth photodetector is experimentally demonstra ted using a novel velocity-matched distributed photodetector (VMDP), T he distributed photodetector structure can achieve large absorption vo lume and high-saturation power while maintaining the high-speed perfor mance of the fast photodiodes, The VMDP with 56 mA saturation photocur rent and an instrument-limited 3-dB bandwidth of 49 GHz is achieved, T he results show that VMDP is ideal for high-performance microwave fibe r-optic links and high-power optical-microwave applications.
