Abstract :
An optical mode transformer, semiconductor optical amplifier, and waveguide photodiode are monolithically integrated without regrowth using separately optimized materials based on asymmetric twin-waveguide technology. The device shows a peak responsivity of 11 A/W and a 3 dB electrical bandwidth of 36 GHz.
