Abstract
We report on the first demonstration of velocity-matched distributed p-i-n photodetectors. A record high linear DC photocurrent of 45 mA has been achieved without suffering from thermal damage, thanks to the superior power handling capability of p-i-n photodiodes. The frequency response is flat from 1 GHz to 35 GHz
