Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present the design of an InGaAlAs/InP uni-traveling-carrier photo-diode (UTC-PD) at mm-wave frequencies up to 340 GHz. The photo diode epitaxy is optimized using a quasi-3D software implementing the hydrodynamic semiconductor equations, for which an output power of 3 mW at 340 GHz was simulated. An equivalent circuit of the UTC-PD has been fitted to experimental S11 measurements up to 67 GHz. Finally, an optimized antenna coupled UTC-PD with choke filter has been designed. This MMIC circuit is intended for photomixing, with output power at 340 GHz.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Because of the inherent difficulty to generate power in the frequency range 0.l-10 THz, the term 'THzgap' has been coined. Among a number of MW/THz generation techniques, the photomixer based sources hold high potential offering wide tunability and decent amounts of output power. The photomixing technique relies on the nonlinear mixing of two closely spaced laser wavelengths generating a beat oscillation at the difference frequency. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the Uni-Travelling-Carrier PhotoDiode (UTCPD) [1] for photomixing, photo receivers, MW/THz-wave generation, fibre-optic communication systems, and wireless communications. UTC-PDs have become very promising by demonstrating output powers of 20 mW at 100 GHz [1] and 25 μW at 0.9 THz [2].

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We suggest a method for pass/fail testing of PM-QPSK transmitters. The test is based on mask testing with time-resolved EVM and accepts transmitters where individual impairments cause less than 0.5 dB OSNR penalty. The design of the test is performed by computer simulations followed by experimental verification of some key results.

Development of Uni-Travelling-Carrier Photodiodes

Ingår i: 4th ESA Workshop on Millimetre Wave Technology and Applications.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have fabricated and characterized InGaAsP/InP uni-travelling-carrier photodiodes (UTC-PDs). An UTC-PD layer structure in the material system InGaAlAs/InP was also designed and grown with in-house molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Using standard III-V processing involving lithography, metallization and etching, diodes of different sizes have been fabricated. Time domain and eye-diagram measurements have been performed. Limitations in the measurement system were identified and compensated for when measuring the bandwidth. The resulting bandwidth is in agreement with the area dependent RC-limitation which was estimated using quasi-DC capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A typical uni-traveling carrier photodiode (UTC-PD) and a commercial PIN-PD are compared in the context of the analog performance at 10 GHz in a realistic noise environment.The behavior of the carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR), the linearity, represented by the third-order output intercept point (OIP3), and the spurious free dynamic range are studied as a function of photocurrent. We have found that the increment of the CNR is only minor because of excess noise of the amplifier, as an optical amplifier is used to reach high optical power. However, the OIP3 of the UTC-PD is substantially higher and increases with photocurrent, in contrast to the PIN-PD. Thus, even though the responsivity is lower, it is beneficial to use a UTC-PD to have superior dynamic range.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We demonstrate an all-optical waveform sampling system with simultaneous sub-mW optical signal sensitivity (20 dB SNR) and sub-picosecond temporal resolution over more than 60 nm optical bandwidth. The optical sampling was implemented by four-wave mixing in a 10 m highly nonlinear fiber using a sampling pulse source with a sampling pulse peak power of only 16 W. The sampling performance was evaluated in terms of sensitivity, temporal resolution and optical bandwidth with respect to fiber length, sampling pulse source wavelength offset from the zero-dispersion wavelength of the highly nonlinear fiber, sampling pulse peak power and walk-off due to chromatic dispersion. We also present a summary of the available methods to achieve polarization-independent optical sampling.
