Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a theoretical study and a numerical simula tion of the nonlinear electrical response, including the harmonic-gene ration rate calculation, of an MSM AlInAs/GaInAs photodiode under high -illumination conditions, We also report that, with an MSM operating a t 20 GHz, we can expect a saturation limit at a maximum modulated opti cal power as high as 100 mW.
