High-speed and high-power germanium photodetector based on a trapezoidal absorber.

A compact high-power germanium photodetector (Ge PD) is experimentally demonstrated by re-engineering light distribution in the absorber. Compared with a conventional Ge PD, the proposed structure shows a DC saturation photocurrent improved by 28.9% and 3 dB bandwidth as high as 49.5 GHz at 0.1 mA. Under the same photocurrent of 10.5 mA, the proposed Ge PD shows a 3 dB bandwidth of 11.1 GHz, which is almost double the conventional Ge PD (5.6 GHz). The 25 Gb/s eye-diagram measurement verifies the improved power handling capability. The compact size and manufacturing simplicity of this structure will enable new applications for integrated silicon photonics.

GeSn resonance cavity enhanced photodetector with gold bottom reflector for the L band optical communication.

In this work, GeSn resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) p-i-n photodetectors (PDs) with 3.7% Sn content in a GeSn layer were fabricated on a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate. The gold (Au) layer and the deposited SiO2 layer constitute the bottom reflector and top reflector of the RCE detectors, respectively. The GeSn RCE PD has three resonant peaks and its responsivity is improved about 4.5 times at 1630 nm, compared with GeSn PDs without a gold bottom mirror. The cutoff wavelength of GeSn RCE PDs is up to 1820 nm, while it is only 1730 nm for GeSn PDs without a gold reflector. The responsivity of RCE PDs at 1630 nm reaches 0.126 A/W and 3-dB bandwidth at about 36 GHz is achieved. These results indicate that the RCE structure is an effective approach for enhancing the GeSn PD performance operated at the L band.

High-performance waveguide-coupled lateral Ge/Si avalanche photodetector.

A high-performance waveguide-coupled lateral avalanche photodetector (APD) is experimentally demonstrated without silicon epitaxy and charge layer ion implantation. At the wavelength of 1550 nm, it shows a high responsivity of 48 A/W and a gain-bandwidth product (GBP) of 360 GHz. Wide-open eye diagrams at 25 Gbps can be observed at various avalanche gains. These outstanding performances indicate the proposed APD has great potential in high-speed optical transceivers for optical links.
