摘要
We demonstrate a long-wavelength monolithically integrated photodiode pair balanced to within 0.4 dB. The (15 +/- 1) GHz bandwidth balanced photodiode pair has minimum dark current of 5 nA, a responsivity of (0.32 +/- 0.02) A/W at 1.55-mum wavelength, linearity up to +3-dBm input optical power, and a common mode rejection ratio of (34 +/- 2) dB. The asymmetric twin-waveguide architecture used makes it possible for integration of the detector pair with other optical components such as semiconductor optical amplifiers, lasers, modulators, and in-plane waveguide-filters.
