  • Abstract
    The third-order intermodulation distortions of an InGaAs-InP charge-compensated uni-traveling-carrier photodiode are characterized using both two-tone and three-tone measurement techniques. Up to 720-MHz modulation frequency the third-order output intercept point (OIP3) reaches 56 ??1 dBm.
