Optical power transfer in vertically integrated impedance-matched waveguide/photodetectors: physics and implications for diode-length reduction

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We identify the physical basis of the irregular absorption (spatial transients) observed in vertically integrated and impedance-matched waveguide/photodiodes using numerical simulations. We then show how the mechanism underlying these transients can be exploited to design diodes 500% shorter than conventional evanescently coupled waveguide/photodiodes, in order to achieve low capacitance and high-speed operation.
