Abstract

A compact DIL-type miniature optical transceiver module has been developed without using a conventional 3 dB optical coupler. This transceiver is composed of a newly designed InGaAsP half-transmittance photodiode (HT-PD) and a 1.3-μm multiquantum-well laser diode (MQW-LD). An HT-PD is used both as a photodetector and as a window for laser diode (LD) light. Fiber output power of 0 dBm at the drive current of 33.8 mA and responsivity of 0.58 A/W at the reverse-voltage of 2 V were obtained. The fundamental characteristics of the HT-PD are studied and discussed
