Microwave photonics and optics-based analog links are technologies that are being
developed for a growing number of applications. Photodetectors that operate at high power …

We demonstrate a flip-chip bonded modified uni-traveling carrier (MUTC) photodiode with
an RF output power of 0.75 W (28.8 dBm) at 15 GHz and OIP3 as high as 59 dBm. The …

Conventional lasers consist of two components: a gain material that is pumped in order to
provide amplification of light and a cavity to provide feedback. Random lasers replace the …

Nonlinearity in pin photodetectors leads to power generation at harmonics of the input
frequency, limiting the performance of RF-photonic systems. We use one-dimensional and …

The linearity, the RF output power, and the bandwidth for pin photodiodes (PDs) and
modified uni-traveling carrier (MUTC) PDs are analyzed for a variation of bias voltage and …

A new method of simulating photodiode nonlinearities is proposed. This model includes the
effects of non-uniform absorption in three dimensions, self-heating, and is compatible with …

A new technique to cancel photodiode-induced even-order distortion in microwave photonic
links is demonstrated. A single Mach-Zehnder modulator, biased slightly away from the …

We present a characterisation of a GaInNAs/GaNAs quantum well-based photodetector with
a bottom distributed Bragg reflector (quasi-cavity). The detector is designed to be used at the …

We use a 2D drift-diffusion model to study the nonlinear response of a partially depleted
absorber (PDA) phododetector. The model includes external loading, incomplete ionization …

A novel technique for generating RF sources for mobile communications based on dual
Mach–Zehnder modulators and high-power charge-compensated modified unitraveling …
