  • Abstract
    We demonstrate that CMOS-compatible Si avalanche photodetectors (CMOS-APD) are very useful for microwave photonics applications. CMOS-APDs are fabricated with 0.18 mum standard CMOS technology. Using the CMOS-APD, radio-over-fiber systems for IEEE 802.11a WLAN are realized. In addition, fiber-supported 60 GHz self-heterodyne systems are implemented by utilizing the CMOS-APD as a harmonic optoelectronic mixer.
