Abstract :
A high-linearity balanced photodetector with a record-high RF output power of 16 dBm at 40 GHz is presented. The third order intercept point at 15 GHz reaches 34 dBm. By operating one photodiode in the non-linear regime we observe partial cancelation of intermodulation distortions in common mode.
