Abstract
Charge compensation is utilized in an InGaAs-InP uni-traveling-carrier photodiode to mitigate the space-charge effect. A 20-Aim-diameter photodiode achieved a bandwidth of 25 GHz and large-signal 1-dB compression current greater than 90 mA; the output power at 20 GHz was 20 dBm. A smaller ∼100-μm2 photodiode exhibited a bandwidth of 50 GHz and large-signal 1-dB compression current greater than 50 mA. The maximum RF output power at 40 GHz was 17 dBm.
