Abstract
A monolithic twin-GaInAs/InP pin photodiode with planar, embedded structure has been fabricated for optical coherent receiver applications. High-uniformity (±1·5%) quantum efficiency and low capacitance (0·3 pF) have been achieved, and its advantage has been demonstrated by the intensity noise suppressions of a dual-detector balanced heterodyne receiver (better than -15 dB up to 4·2 GHz)
