  • Abstract
    The high frequency saturation characteristics of an InGaAs/InP waveguide pion photodetector are measured. At a wavelength of 1.3 mu m, the detector has a responsivity of 0.5 A/W and a flat frequency response from 800 MHz to 20 GHz. With a bias of -4 V, the normalized frequency response of the detector remains unchanged when optical powers up to 10 mW are incident on the detector.
